With the S197 Mustangs, re-flashing the computer is the first thing to do, and I would bet that it would be the same with the Focus.
I don't know if Ford left as much power on the table with the Zetec/Duratec motors, but with the 4.6, we're seeing 25-30HP with just a CAI and tune. The rev-limiter is a simple change, nowhere near as complicated as re-mapping spark tables, which isn't THAT hard, either. You guys are optimizing spark and fuel for all the changes you're making, right?

Very good points, thought the HP gains from a tune are less on the focus.
A totaly stock SVT zetec would be illegal. This sort of flies in the face of the "low cost" concept.
I guess it's just that I could run a totaly stock motored 2.3 litre and be legal, sure I'll be a back marker, but I
can't do that with an SVT.
Heck I don't even have a dog in the fight it just seems like a very odd way to create "pairity". Thats why at first I figured it was a typo.
