Its great for track and racing but lame on motorways and high speed. Be lucky to get 120 out of it. Most of them top out at 115mph.

I've got a 1.25 box in my track gess at moment. And the gears are shit, first and third to short. Always back off cam when change up. Will still do the naughty side of 130 with a 7k rev limit.

pretty sure the bellhousing is diffirent as its a zetec se as well, so you would need to change 1 half of the gearbox casing over with a normal 4 cylinder ford one
