If you have an auto, I hope you're either going Powerworks when this is all said and done (apparently safe for autos when tuned correctly) or JRSC (lower power, but safer). Otherwise, I hope you're converting to a manual at the same time in order to make use of the power you're looking for.

Really, with all the aggravation... just sell the SPI-powered car and get a Zetec-powered car. If I was that concerned over making serious power in a Focus, that's what I'd do.

On a different performance note, you could track down a SPI header (Focus Central shorty header was the lesser of tow evils IIRC), a high-flow cat, MBRP / Magnaflow cat-back exhaust for the tail end. Dump in the most raucous cam escortfocus.com has - don't forget the springs, lifters, etc! Find a used BDR / FC 60mm throttle body, add a 3" intake (short ram or cold air), move to 8 or 9mm wires (Screamin' Demon coil / LiveWires package) and top it off with a SCT tune for 91 or 94 octane, adjusted shift points, raised redline, etc.

Don't forget the 50% UDP.

From there, you can do suspension / wheels and tires, perhaps a brake upgrade, etc.

In any event, you could likely end up doing a lot of what I've mentioned to your Zetec-powered car. It's just a matter of "how fast do you want to go?" and "how much are you willing to spend?"

Good luck either way. :)
