We decided to turn the boost up a little on a long term project here at Top Speed. You may recall the previous blog entry about Jared’s Focus back in June where I stated that the car made 274whp on a stock ZETEC engine, well lets just say that we just blew that number out of the water.
We have always wondered how much harder we should push this motor, and finally got to the point where we decided the heck with it and do what we do best, boost the heck out of it. Jared has been driving this car for more than a year on what some people would call a ‘timebomb,’ however anyone that has ever ridden with him would agree the car felt like it just wanted more.
The results speak for themselves:
18 & 19psi – 93 Octane
As you can see, we had a little issue with the clutch, we are not sure why it desided to start slipping, but we do know it is! The car made 340whp and 338 wtq at 19psi on what is a completely stock internal production ZETEC engine. This is for sure one of the highest horsepower, if not the highest, documented stock internal ZETEC engine.

Up for sale is a custom built turbo kit, that we used on one of our shop vehicles for some time. The kit produced over 500 horsepower and is capable of much more. The turbo that the kit was designed around was an SPA 7000m w/3″ V-band downpipe flange. Kit does not include turbo, oil lines or blow-off valve, but we can provide those to you. This is a great kit, at a great price, so don’t let this deal pass by.
Top Speed has recently had the opportunity to test the Steeda GT500 Cold Air Intake System. The intake was installed on a 2008 GT500 that was completely stock before the test.
The installation went pretty smoothly, however, I feel like Steeda could have done more to make the product better, including attaching the MAF flange themselves, instead of making the customer do it. Steeda should also send a MAF Transfer Function for their intake like some of the other intake manufacturers, instead they just say that you can buy their tune.
The power that the intake made was close to what Steeda was claiming and was diffidently worth the investment.
