My kit also "Enhances" the performance as well as makes it the "baddest" car on the block so you get the best of both worlds , As for "SAFE & DEPENDABLE" I am making 2 times the power and almost 3 times the TQ on the all stock SVT engine and could do this on 91 ( have done over 300 on the SVT on 93 ) "IF" i so chose to with the SVT hitting 18,000 miles of nothing but pure beating like Sat and Sun as well as over 800miles at VIR (3.2 mile track) out running most everything in the 2 classes i run in there over 285 1/4 mile passes and 360 1/8 mile passes , both my cars can run over 130MPH and has seen 152.2 MPH at VIR front stretch
Never even indicated that your car wasn't safe and dependable. I don't know anything more about your program than you do about mine! Great speeds by the way and again your only proving my point that there is no comparrison between your kit and ours so why do you keep making the comparrison?
Yes Stock , stock engine , suspension , There is NOTHING illegal about this car you may want to pick you words a little more closely , I can " legally" pass a NC safety check and inspection that makes it legal for my state and if you had got down and looked you WOULD of seen a CAT in place there , Yes i had 110 in at the event but again by my choosing not because i have to , I get a lot of my fuel free from 110 to C16 so i use it , i also can go buy 110 at the pump here for 3.59 a Gal so why not use it , As for my noise , I do this because i WANT my car this was and dont like the ricer sound of your and many other 4 cyl Exh so i do my own and this is what i choose , I can make just as much power from a Borla CAT back and keep it quiet , As for the valve cover breather , yes i vent it out because of how much HOT OILY air it has and again that is for me not that it has to be done , you will have to come up with much better excuses than those
So there is nothing illegal about your car "technically" in NC. is an IM-240 test part of the inspection? Our cars are 50 state legal and come with a carb sticker which means we have passed both tailpipe and evaporative emissions. This is the price of having access and support from the factory. Fortunately for us, not everyone lives in NC and these things are important to some of them. Again, this kit is designed for everyone! AND Again......No comparrison!
Come on you make it sound like you are making the ATX stronger by changes we all can make with the SCT ProRacer , it comes down to the ATX we have is a POS and the only way to add stuff and the ATX live is adding something with little TQ and a SC fits that bill fine if some one wants to spend 4500+ $$$$$ to make that little TQ ?
The stock ATX can handle 270 ftlbs of torque. (make sure you also include the torque multiplication factor of the torque converter. Installing a high stall converter may push over the limit) Since we are keeping the engine/torque converter output below the physical torque threshold of the input shaft and other hard parts, the only thing that needs to be protected are the soft parts. (bands and clutches) We have re-calibrated the transmission in a way to help reduce the wear from excessive slippage. No one said we were making the transmission stronger, just working within the physical limits.
FACT: I've used your SCT tool and it has very limited capability. We use the factory software and calibration tools which have much more functionality and ours are real time tools. We also have access to the factory strategy and calibration guides. YOU can not accomplish the same job as we can with your SCT pro-Racer. If you want to tell people your stating "The Facts" then state the facts NOT your opinions.
What does it have to do with the things you calibrate and design , I also do my own calibrations on my in house Dynojet and would bet have 3 to 4 times the time in on tuning these sence 2000 that you have and have designed MANY parts for all the Foci , but again what does that have to do with anything AND you can turn mine up to 20PSI and it WONT VOID any of the warranty
Thats really cool! So what cylinder pressures are you running? What is the cylinder pressure limit on the base 2.0L ztec and what is the limit of the SVT before the rods start to fold ? (they are different) These are facts you need to know as a tuner before making the statement that it is safe. Won't void the warranty of your parts, but do your customers know the potential (NOTE: the word potential means that it could happen, I'm not stating that it will happen) of what happens to the engine while running over that limit? No one said you didn't design your own parts, and, since you don't know me or my back ground you have no idea what we are capable of. Again full engine mapping on an engine dyno, full vehicle driveability calibration at altitude and different climates, full dyno engine durability, and continuing vehicle durability on multiple cars. Again, there is no comparrison!
Fact: we do engine dyno mapping, Altitude testing, hot/cold climate testing, engine dyno durability (300hrs) and continued vehicle durability and for everyone else out there, we still make less power than Tom!
If this is the case you need to get a different tuner , we havent broke any rods or pistons yet and at 2 times the power , The stock engine ZX3 , I my self have had to 320+ at the wheels and the SVT to 340 at the wheels but stays at 326 all stock engine not even a TB on it
I haven't broken any rods on the Zetec either, however I have shortened the rods and the pistons cracked at the second ring land. We noticed a lot of hot oily air coming out of the breather hose and decided to tear the engine down, but it was making great power. I NEVER said I blew one up, just said I had parts at my desk! Your making it sound like the base engine is indestructable. It's not! I'm sure I could get 400hp out of the engine ONCE! All I would expect is one run. Again go back to the FACTS which are the base engine has physical limitations and we CHOOSE not to exceed them. This has absolutly nothing to do with the tuner, it has to do with true engineering judgment based on hard data gathered through a controlled testing process to give our customer a safe product. Again, NO comparrison!
Why does it have to be knife throwing why cant it be called facts "They are what they are and there is NO comparrison" I couldnt agree more
I'm waiting for the facts. All I've seen from you is that you still don't understand the difference between your facts and the real facts. No one said your car didn't make more power, or was faster or was louder. (I should write poetry) All I said was they are different in every way that you could possibly imagine, so why would you compare your fabricated tubular turbo kit with air to air intercooling to our cast aluminum supercharger kit that comes with an EO, safe drivable calibration (with less performance than yours) air to water intercooling, new throttle body, coolant pump, all the hoses, hoseclamps and pump, coolant bottle, all the electrical harnesses which make it plug and play, lower front radiator, and includes a complete new induction system, oil filter relocation kit, basically we supply everything but a new oil filter and oil, and coolant for the IC system.
Facts: (I know I'm setting myself up here for ya pal)
If you want an EO certified package that drives like a regular car everyday with some extra zip, you can run at the track if you wanted, has the depedability, driveability, and reliability of your family car, is made of high quality castings and has an OE appearance under the hood, then take a look at our line of kits
If you don't care about any of that, and all you want is pure power, go with what ever makes the most power and is priced within your budget.
Pretty simple facts, and again, there is no comparrison!
