Just thought I would share my experience from this weekend. Not contour related but I think most of you will still enjoy it. A few pics and vids from the DSM shootout this past weekend.. Held at Buschur Racing in Wakeman oh about 20 min from where I live.. This was Saturday's event.. Sunday was supposed to be open race day but got rained out.. Still a pretty good time though..

i've been thinking about this for a really long time, wat makes a Japaneese car with a 2.0 liter DOHC engine produce 500+ hp and we struggle to get 250 out of our little ZETEC's??
 
yes tons of boost... 40+ pounds and vp 119 octane in the silver evo in the vids.. it put down 751 awhp and 496 ft lbs torque. I chatted with the guy who owns it , it runs low 10's consistently and he still drives it on the street.. I couldn't imagine pulling up next to him at a stop light.. not trying to imply anything ;)

oh trust me, 500 WHP is doable with a zetec, but obviously you need to build the **** out of that motor to get any kind of durability out of it, and even then with that much boost its not going to last long.

Plus on a FWD once you past 250 whp it starts to get harder and harder to put that power on the road.

i have a 200+WHP zetec contour. Turbo Tom has/had a 500+WHP SVT Focus


From his website in the link:
The whole pass right from the start went very well i could feel out of the hole she hooked up and was pulling hard.

My boost was 27 (Gauge) 30 (Boost Controller)Psi not sure what one is right i would guess the gauge.

I was on my 2 year old drag radials (grabbed the wrong set when i loaded the cars )BFG G-Force Drag Dadials(DOT)tires.

I am 5 PSI more boost and hooked up the Overdrive on the Lentech from the Atlanta 12.71 pass. I was hitting the rev limiter at about 3 car length from the lights (Atlanta) and now can pull all the way through the lights I think this made a BIG differance

The ZX3 is still on STOCK Cams and Ignition and running.

60... 2.093
330.. 5.377
1/8.. 7.921
MPH.. 99.16
1000. 10.062
1/4.. 11.882
MPH.. 123.37

I have 10 Psi still there not used and a 125 shot of Nitrous that has yet to be used down the track BUT. Now i have to decide where to stop. With FFW DEMANDING a 5 point cage , safety belts , Drivers Jacket and needing something more than the stock brakes and brake pads . I have to decide just how far do i want to go and how much more to spend on keeping it street legal ?????

Would like to thank Lentech, Mike Wilson (chip guy) BFG ,Innovative Turbo for there help to make this all happen.
