Even if you don't have the answer, you certainly have to admire the problem.

16.820@82.33. Nice run, sounds like it is time to update the sig.  Congrats on busting 81 too! I wish every 2.0L Tour owner was on here, I read on FocalJet somewhere about some Tour had a race header, etc., etc...I just want to here about a Zetec breaking 16!

Yes a larger/more optimized TB would definitely improve your top end. I know Loco has a race header, but it was a totally different person. I went and digged up the thread for ya: http://www.teamfocaljet.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=2&t=008460Here is the quote: "Actually, you are not the first to do this. There is a Contour at the shop I have some of my work done that has had the FocusSport race header for about a year now. He went as far as to get the FOCUS bulkhead and oil pan just to have it clear correctly. At the moment He is in the process of putting a turbo on it using the JBA header similar to what Alamo did with their Focus."

I was with those ladies also and ran a 17.5 with a Bone Stock Ford Focus. I was a fun day. That was my eight run of the day too.

I ran 17.3 at 80mph! I improved 3 tenths of a second with the optimized TB. I think that is an improvement. Not to mention the temp outside was much better this time around. For those who didn't know I'm LoCoZetec on Focaljet.

Yes I was able to put those names together, and I know you started the thread. I was just referring to the quote inside it, one of the last posts. I quoted it.

Hate to invade Zetec country, but Joe please remember that Hector has an ATX... But your 16.2 run is fantastic!
