Look.. you can proud of your car and enjoy the fact you are doing something other people aren't but a lot of what your posting is talking up your vehicle's speed.. and it isn't fast by most people's measure in the S&S section, if it can't beat a stock LS1 it's slow we'll accept your car for what it is and accept you, but just don't expect a lot of praise on it being quick or anything. please come back and share your time slips and vids of you racing people.. and stories and such.. this isn't a place where people are going to be all excited because its faster than it is stock, we'll be excited when we see some 11s in your focus though

my mustang gets up to 60 in about half the time in the video you posted, so maybe that's why it seems so un-godly slow to me?
No. Your N/A Focus can NOT run to 60 anywhere close to high 5s, even a stock SVT takes around 7 seconds LOL. Your Mustang does 0-60 in 3 seconds? Wow, please post a video of that! Thats amazing!

Cool. I wasnt posting here and expecting people to be blown away by how fast my car is. I know its not compared to most of the track cars here. I just thought some people would get a kick out of a Ford economy car thats VERY slow in stock form (like a 17 second quarter) being made to go faster. How often do you see a 13 second Focus? When I am done, it will run in the 12s. Not bad for a car that comes stock with like 115whp

Just hooked up a boost gauge and I am spiking at 9psi which means I am only at about 8psi. meaning these runs were at only 190whp. This boost controller doesnt have any settings, so I was just guessing without having a gauge. So I am still as fast, if not faster than an SRT4 or SS/SC with about 40-45 less whp and less boost LOL. I will be shooting video of my new runs next week once I get the new clutch and I am boosting at 11psi, will be much faster

haha.. man.. this is funny.. so no track slips no dyno and he is faster with less hp?


comon now Mr. E.. don't be a ricer.. stop watchs and you tube videos of rolling 60s aren't gonna win us over here go hit the track.. atleast get real dyno #s instead of guessing you have this much hp.. (still doesn't mean much since different dynos can read way different) Just hit the track when you can, most are closed now.

if you really want to see how you stack up against a srt4 or ss/sc go race one.. you can always find some place safe to run 0-90ish..
