So a couple things, the Focus stock is slow, everyone knows this. Sure faster then say a Festiva, but relatively speaking it's slow.
Now on my Focus when I had it, I would hit the speed limiter in the 1/4 mile so I had to do something about it. There is the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) on the tranny and I think it was the middle wire, possibly orange, I hooked up a switch to it which disabled the VSS.
So I could just flip the switch and it would work however this doesn't just eliminate the 178km/h max, the speedo doesn't function at all anymore so you won't know how fast you are going.
For me it worked fine because I only used it at the track and it didn't matter how fast I was going, I was going as fast as I could. :)
On the street, in a Wagon with probably stock suspension..not sure I'd be going 180km/h
