this is just a general question cuz a lot of my friends are mustang guys and ive heard a lot of their cars....do the prochargers on the focus whine at idle and under load like they do on stangs?

does anyone have a sound clip?

Yes, they do. Just the same as the stangs. It is mostly from the straight-cut gears in the unit. If you have heard a stang , you"ve heard the focus.

can you get my a sound clip of idle?

im sure your exhaust kinda drones it out under boost...

Theyre not nearly as loud as a Mustangs except at idle and theyre fairly noisy at idle. They also sound as if theyre knocking at idle too.

I was asking this because if u don't have SVT, I would consider Powerworks for your setup.....

^^ Have you driven a PW car?

jrpasmo
07-11-2007, 03:29 PM
^^^ Exactly...I'm saying this because I have SVT with Procharger, ZTW N/A and I see the rpm differences between those two cars....SVT loves higher RPMs....my Friend has his ZX5 with PW and it's totally different car....I love it....
