do they make a standard length steel rod for the zetec with a 21mm small end to accept the vauxhall pistons? after chats with various people im now thinking i really need steel rods as the engine pulls well and progressivly so could allow it alot more power then use a boost controller

Who is they?
Any rod manufacturer will make whatever you want. If you mean do places like Burtons sell them off the shelf, then no (however Burtons isn't the best example as they can get Farndon to do specials like that)..

what sort of power are you looking for ?
have you drove a car with that sort of power to know if you like it or not ?
try someones car and go from there IMO as you might not like it, on paper and actually driving a car is totally different so test it first as i know why i never bothered with a ERST

car engines are set to how you spec them to, it wont change the way the car actually performs on the road, nor will a boost controller as thats to get rid of wastegate creep unless you talking a progressive one thts either speed related like my blitz or a speed and RPM related one like the apexi
the actual cat will still be a ERST shoving big power through it aint gonna make it any different to what it is
the cars perfect in most ways and reasonably specced too but theres a limit for cars when they get too much and the car becomes the other side
