That is awesome !!! Man that is hellish fast!

**Tobyboom** · 03-06-2006, 02:27 PM

Drag Radials or Slicks?

**CFM Focus** · 03-06-2006, 02:55 PM

slicks

**adn_zx3** · 03-06-2006, 07:52 PM

How many psi you are making??

**CFM Focus** · 03-06-2006, 09:49 PM

20psi @ 7,000rpm

We only gained 15whp by adding 3psi. Our new motor should yield more HP with less boost due to the increased efficiency.

Those regular Crower 2's or the FI specific ones?

93 oct?

**CFM Focus** · 03-14-2006, 04:16 PM

They are the early Stage 2s. Yes, 93 octane.

**Seawolf** · 03-15-2006, 10:45 AM

I noticed you run a thicker head gasket...but you only have the OEM gasket on the site. Any chance you'll carry a thicker gasket yourselves?

**CFM Focus** · 03-15-2006, 01:45 PM

We special order them. You can find them on our site here: http://focus.c-f-m.com/index.asp?Pag...ROD&ProdID=985

**Discord** · 03-15-2006, 03:39 PM

Nice. Added to the list of things to get from ya'll.

Might be a good idea to put the expected compression ratio with the different thicknesses on that page also.

On that note, what thickness did you use to achieve 9.0? I'm looking to get in the range of 9-9.2.
