Not all of the information provided will apply directly to the Focus, Zetec, Ford engines or engines in general. Some if not most of the information will have to be applied to the project at hand. Theories and laws are definatly 2 different things, laws cannot be broken (thermodynamics and fluid dynamics specifically); theories are just laws that are not yet 100% proven in every situation.

You are more then welcome to. I got a shit ton of them, some I have noticed are no longer up.

BTW, I think monday that motor is coming out, been taking my time and I think the bitch can come out the top, also, found what I think is a piece of my connecting rod in the air damn. If I did my math correctly, at the time of the james bond smoke screen, it was about 250-260whp :oops: Thats calculating every 10 psi=10whp and I hit 15psi :shock:
