How Much Power Can You Gain W/o Sc Or Turbo?
#3
for basics; full exhaust(header, flex, no cat and ehxaust), intake, TB, UDP kit, tune will put you at about the 130fwhp mark and about 125-135lb/ft.

add in cams and cam gears and a better tune and you will break 150+fwhp and 145lb/ft+.

add 24lb/hr injectors, ported head, a ported 2000 IM and a better tune and you will get into the 160+fwhp and 150+lb/ft range

increase compression by decking the head and you will see about 5-10 to each depending on how much you increase compression.

add in a FR intake manifold and you will see 170+fwhp and 160lb/ft once tuned at about 7200rpm.


only way to make more power from here is with a built bottom end and big cams.
you can pull 200+fwhp and 160-170lb/ft out of the Zetec NA but you will have to twist the engine to 8000rpm to do it.

the money required to do this will be well above a nice turbo kit or SC kit which will make more power.

ultimate NA setup would be a 12:1 compression bottom end, ITBs attached to a Flowed FR head, some big cams and a DTA P8 Pro ECU with 4.55 gears and a 9lbs flywheel.... should sping to 9000rpm and make 250+fwhp and about 180lb/ft
