and of course this is what happens when you you use spray to soon. Tisk tisk for not have a window switch. I guess this is all he said happend "The only damage was that I cracked and blew a hole in the bottom of the intake manifold and broke another MAF housing. "

It's fast, theres no doubt about it.
But is it worth it? (certainly not in my mind)
All the time and money, just to shave like 2 seconds?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be negative, its nice to see a Focus out there representing once and awhile.
But I'd rather buy a different car for the price difference...just my 2 cents though... ;)
I think its worth it. He's got a 13sec Focus now.
I guess thats what he wants so props to him for being different. I much rather just do a turbo lol but there are alot of ppl out there who hate turbos and think NA or Nitrous is the best way to go. Those NA parts can be super expesnive.
In my mind I think 2 seconds is alot. Thats a good gap away from your car and the other car.
It is worth it for sure...
Myself i'd rather have forced induction over NO2. But thats because I want the power legally on the highway rather than only at the track....

Yep, 13 sec focus does have a certain level of accomplishement to be said. I'd be pretty happy and 'proud' to say I did that to a focus.

Espcially on the focus. Slow terd. <_<
oh man. I wonder how much the new pistons were worth? Some expensive mods on that list. Lots of time put into that engine..
Is that tobyboom? If so hes run way faster times then that......
I wouldnt be happy with all those mods and that time. Eiw. But then again depends what kinda shot he was running there.
mmhmmmm that is him. mr tobyboom
Are you serious he ran faster then 13.1?????? Into the 12's!!! NO WAY!
Thats amazing!
Nice find Jay, still if you ever seen some of TOM's vids, he's into the high 11;'s now. Posted a 11.88 int he 1/4.

With a 30K price tag in mods <_<
What hicks talking on that video.
I dunno about you, but a 7 second Civic will need WAY more then 30-40K in mods.
And by the way...Nitrous is not NA..lol
I dont think anyone mentioned nitrous being NA lol
Chad. I am ordering my turbo from Tom. I got to call him and get the exact quote and shipping fee's. Most likely get it shipped to ND and go and pick it up. :D

Damn Jay, good plan on the shipping to ND. You know someone there to ship it to? When you planning this? Going with TOM's stuff is very smart IMO.
Naturally aspired with a dose of nitrous vs. forced induction via turbo or super charger. Sounds kinda grey to me. :unsure:
There are 2 categories...
Naturally Aspirated
Power Adder
Power Adder is turbo, supercharger, Nitrous.
