I reckon you are wrong cj old pal, I had exactly the same idea as youn, my block is built with 300bhp plus in mind but I always had a figure of 230 - 250 in mind with matching torque in mind,,,,,,,,,,,,,until crazycage threw me the keys to his red fez, I threw the kays back scared after a quick spin in it as it truly scared the living crap out of me, but now,,, well lets just say the cts stage 2 box has now been sold, focus rs box sorted, and a new figure of well lets just say a few ponies more in mind has been laid down on the gauntlet. But after all that I know I will still crave more and end up selling the house for a cossie lol

Whatever you do, there are more ways to skin a cat ie you can get xxxbhp a numerous ways, but there are ok ways and better ways, its always better to get the car and engine ready for the power first then up the power later in respect to keeping it on the road and reliable.

cj - if my shonky car ever gets its wheels back on and mapped you are more than welcome to have the keys for a spin, but you must then say after you get out and back in yours that you are happy with your 170 odd bhp lol YOU WILL GO FULL ZETEC WITH GT TURBO AND BUCKET LOADS OF BOOST MY FRIEND LOL
