Wait til next week. I'm putting my car on the dyno and running a compression test to see why I'm having this unexplainable power loss. I'll post those dynos and the ones when I fix it. Then, shortly after that, the ones with the nitrous.  And then the block... And then the turbo...

Could be.
We're thinking it might be a blown head gasket. I've been dealing with this for over a month and I'm out of options.

If it were a blown head gasket, I think your car would be smoking pretty bad. Also would have cooling problems. The car would likely be running rough/skipping too due to the lost compression. Check your oil to see if it has gone down...also check your coolant level. Next, do a compression test.
OH you're right whitemike, this is a FORD site. But you see, Infuryum has officially been adopted as our very own red headded step child, so chill out. He's down with contours. (matter of fact I think I remember a certain video out there where he's significantly down on a contour...what was that, 2, 3, 4 carlengths heh heh). He's part of the family so to speak.

Please don't come to this group and start harassing people. Not a great first impression. For you information, Infuryum is a neat guy to hang around. He's kind of like comic relief at the DFW meets. BTW, He is a professed Contour Enthusiast, and he's alright by me. I don't care what he drives.
