Yes, which is why only 2 Zetec's have been past 170mph and that was with well over 400bhp.

slap on a t34 and crank it up!!!!

boost=torque

high rpm motrs do not make torque , and the CVH is not happy past 7k for extended periods of time

too much capacity for the breathing capability, and a long stroke.

what exactly do you mean by they don't rev? is it that you can't get them to rev over six grand or is it something entirely different? only ask as i've seen a few n/a zetecs that rev like hell. plus i had a escort gti that used to scream to the limiter without any probs.
