yep, changed the heads, cam, and made a proper baffle for the lower intake so I dont have an oil burning problem any more.... just tires.. LOL.

My goal is to get it into the low-mid 13's before the end of summer.

Low/mid 13s by summer's end? I officially hate you now :( . It's been a year long project for me!

Solid times though...looks like you gave that Focus some hell haha.

Without a converter and 3.73 gears, don't expect better than a very high 14....

it will run faster with traction.... I ran the same MPH as Kingcars and he ran a 14.6, so I know there is more in it with slicks.... and thanks for the comments.
why do you think I didnt disagree with you? LOL... I know, you know your stuff. and actually I was impressed it ran that fast...
AND didnt blow up! lol

that stupid Ford Fungus was there all night, I beat him 2 out of 3 races... he won the won on tape by a tenth of a second... we had the EXACT MPH though. he got slower every lap.:flip:

You're gonna need the converter to get it off the line...The E-cam waits a little bit before they wake up...

A 2.22 short time ain't terrible for street tires...

Till you get a converter and gears, even with traction, don't expect better than maybe 2.10... With a converter you'll definatly need some stickys...

Sorry i know the focus needs some black paint and you had good times but it was sitting right next to you whole track and making you look bad. Also sorry i can't make a single color car Unless i make a Bullit foxbody stang or crown vic p71 in that nice classic green color.

well, as odd as it feels, i can kinda understand where carpimp is comin from on this one. you called the focus "ricer." when i hear the term ricer i think of a car with mods that give the illusion of performance w/o actually having any. if a ricer hangs even with your car, and can even manage to beat you 1 of 3 times down the track, i would infer that your car is also lackin in performance....again this is based on your classification of the focus.
if you had stated that although it was ugly, it did seem to run well for what it was, then the inference about your cars performance would be more positive.

that aside, congrats on the improvement over your SO times! if you dont mind, how much money do you have in this combo?
