Hello Tom.
From what i hear you are the man in the Focus world. I have a few questions. First a little background on myself. I come from the V8 world and i have built many, and still have some. I know its extremely easy to make alot of power with 8 cyl engines. Heck i have 532HP S10 thats street legal. Now here is what i am getting at. I am looking to build my focus up. I drive my truck then jump in my focus and it feels like i am standing still. Now my focus is a 2001 ZX3. I was looking into the PW kits, some Turbo kits, but what i really want to do is go N/A with the option for turbo later, or S/C.
Now i was wondering is there a way to get my focus to say 220HP at the wheels N/A with a low enough compression for me to go FI later? IF so throw me some tips/parts #'s. I am wanting to get a list together to start getting them slowly. When i built my truck i spent 15k and i did it all at once, this time i am gonna take my time. I am looking to build a new engine (in my garage) and get it all ready so my car will have a MIN down time. I do plan on getting a tune from you when its time. Right now the car is AUTO but i do plan on converting it to stick shift.
