Sal,

Hey, how are ya? Nice to see you on this site! Hey, are you tuning the Focus? This is Mike from Michigan. Hoping the get the L to the dyno again soon to see if I need to revise A/F any further with the spray.

Now, back to regular schedule... I think the cobra motor in the focus is just wicked. Those of you whom have rode in the "terminator" realize its capabilities. I'd just have concerns on the traction issues and front end weight and how it affected the handling. No Replacement for Displacement!

I'm surprised that all the posters here, except for one, have never seen that before. Yeah, it's seems outrageous to do that and quite pricey at that time, but honestly why wouldn't anyone of us here not want that? I still dig that issue out of my mag pile to re-read once in awhile.
