wikipedia said:
The SVT Contour has many high-performance improvements to produce more power and withstand harder driving than the normal Contour models.
These changes include:
  • Changes to the camshaft include a longer duration and a complete change in valve timing points.
  • Higher compression: 10:to1(SVT) vs 9.7(normal)
  • PCM was more aggressively tuned and required premium fuel.
  • Larger throttle body (60 mm vs 54 mm). Lifted from the 3.0L Duratec.
  • Intake manifold and primary intake ports smoothed by ExtudeHone.
  • SVT-Clutch.
  • A water to oil, oil cooler to keep control of oil temperatures during performance driving.
  • A radiator with a thicker core for better cooling(lifted from Saudi models).
  • Different air filter and intake (cone style using same air filter as V6 Mustang).
  • A lighter flywheel(from 21lbs to 19lbs.)
  • A larger-diameter, quasi-dual exhaust.
These changes allowed the SVT Duratec to make 200hp at 6600rpm and 169lb-ft at 5500rpm. The rev-limiter was also raised to 6750rpm from 6500rpm.
