11s would be sweet man and 5300 will defenitly reduce ur time

as for a cam you dont need a more radical cam stock cams are the next best thing unles you can get a hold of some turbo grind cams

and the trans is not much u can do with i would look into a LSD thats about it. I wouldnt do the 4.02 gears or whatever they are if you going to daily drive it

ferkozx3 · 10-30-2009, 07:52 PM

well im getting custom made cams, turbo grind, and as far as trans, im getting a diff, and going with the 4.02 gears, im thinking with the dyno tune, i should make sum good power, possibly up the boost even

mlbbaseball · 10-30-2009, 07:59 PM

just get some FR3's, they are very good for boost!! and remember, ur head can only take so much!

PSIaddict · 10-30-2009, 09:23 PM

4.02 gears will be really crapy for highway and daily driving,
and the FR3 cams i was told you have to do some mod to the head and they idle really rough, not sure how they would act on a turbo, but for turbo you need duration not lift, and if you dont have the duration you can leak boost on you cams

mlbbaseball · 10-30-2009, 11:13 PM

i'm not sure if u stated it wrong, but w/ turbo, u don't want duration, otherwise you get overlap and blowby of boost out the exhuast side. FR 3's don't require mods, anything larger does!!

ferkozx3 · 10-31-2009, 07:05 AM

well im having custom cams done, they will be just a little more radical than the stg 2 turbo cams already out, and as far as the gears im not totally sure on if thats the choice yet, i just know im gonna have to beef up my trans some how

focusfreak03 · 11-04-2009, 08:35 AM

def. do not go with the 4.02s. you will be so wound out if you take it on the highway. instead of cruising around 3k @ 80mph in 5th, it would be more like 4-4.5k. not good unless you like rebuilding your motor all the time. it's fine when it is just in quick spurts like on a drag or road course, but if you are going to be driving it on the hwy, it won't take the sustained rpms for very long.

ferkozx3 · 11-04-2009, 03:02 PM

yea i might stay stock gear ratio, idk what i can do to beef up my trans, this is number 3 for me now :(

Only time I've ever done a 1/4 mile, I got an ugly 17.66 sec, however, at the time, the only mods I had were an Iceman and a tune, (on an automatic Focus) and I had no idea how to launch. My 0-60 was 10.20 seconds.

My 0-60 time is now 9.47 w/ a few more mods, but I haven't redone the quarter yet.
