I read just fine but thanks for askin';) You said "why would they program it to turn off in the high rpms if it wasn't prone to knock." Maybe by "they" you mean somebody other than Ford. If that's the case then my bad, I never tried to beat a dead horse an FI my contour.
THe other comment about 500 hp was a bit of sarcasm on my part. There is more HP to be had with a proper tune albeit, nowhere near 500.

"beat a dead horse and FI a Contour" - I take offense Mr HIGH AND MIGHTY SRT OWNER.
Edit: Unless you just meant your old SVT was bunk and not all of them.

Dude, we bought our boost off a shelf; these guys took an already well-performing engine, some metal, a torch, some high-dollar grease, and lots of beer and more than doubled the amount of power than our cars put down stock, using less displacement than mine and probably about the same amount of boost as yours prior to your modding. I'd call that an accomplishment worthy of nothing but respect.
To say, "I never tried to beat a dead horse an FI my contour" is to skate on extremely thin ice. I would imagine the LS1 forum would have the same thing to say about a Neon. Represent for your old ride, man, even if your new one is faster

Thanks for the kind words. I like how you worded it as well. There is most definitely a lot of blood, sweat, and tears in this project, especially being something of a pioneer for forced induction on the 3L.
