thats crazy to think you and i have the same engine and tranny and you pass the 1/4 mile in around 4 seconds faster than me- what was different this time than was the last time when you ran an 11.8

Depends on the fuel octane and what kind of safety measures you might have (J&S etc..).
No J&S on 93 octane, probably about 13 PSI (plus or minus). Cali 91, probaby no more than 10. It really all depends on the tune. You can up the boost, and pull more timing but power gains would be negligable and daily driving would suffer.

No there was NO nitrous used on that pass, iwill use it again but i knew that if it was used that all i would hear is well he used nitrous and a turbo


Things that changed from last engine

Turbo AR went from .48 to .63
Head work ( found some new stuff)
Down pipe
This has my new header design on it as well (same that now comes in all kits)

She was a handfull at those speeds , The Focus was never ment to go 130 on stock suspension
