The Focus is a nice car but is there really that much power you can pull out of it by modding it, or is it limited?

Shockwave, a few things:-

* My expectations are not really defined. As I have said on numerous occasions, im not out to set/break records, i dont want a dragstrip monster, all I want to do is try a few things out, see how they work (if they work), and go from there. I dont have a figure in mind in the way of kW, i have a goal to increase drivability and power throughout the whole rev range, and once ive achieved that, I'll know it.

* ECU upgrade (by this I mean chip) and underdrives are most certainly within reach. It's just a matter of locating the right parts (which im farily certain I have done), and then purchasing them - the only holdup with these 2 parts at the moment is the distributor is having supply issues. Once they're available, and once I know enough about the products to hand over the cash, they'll be on the way.

* As for your question about how much you can get out of the Focus, thats the same question I have. Why else would I be modding it?
