your bigger problem is going to be your transmission. It's a whole different world. I run a 55 shot. I know people that have run 75, a very select few that run a 100 shot, and 1 crazy ass that runs a 150. Of course his bottom end is built.

yeah it was funny........................not realy, but what , ive never ran nitro, kinda power increase are you looking at. and ive heard of poele spraying methenaol into blowers for cooling

what tends to be the week link in the autos, i personaly have never incountered a foci trans concern at work for any sort of breakeage,just noise and shift selinoid problems, some one was saying that a tom getelman was running like close to 500 horse on stock axles, i figure if im going to go blower and spray, im gonna go all the way and get a lynco trans, i know i konow .. why not just get a mustang........ whel, i allready have a belly button, and so does every one else. i just want to have a bad ass focus

I am just doing a 65 wet shot, stock block, no other FI right now. I also have my tranny built (Quaiffe LSD, Stage4 Clutch, etc.), and all other basic mods, I/H/E/ Plugs/Wires etc. It should be safe enough, but if I blow it to all hell I don't give a shit, as blocks are cheap. I'm hoping for low 14's..... Who knows though, maybe better, maybe worse, maybe a bigger shot depending on what it pulls....

The Tom fellow (aka Turbo Tom http://focus-power.com/view.php?showme=Home) runs a lentech Trans, its a fully built tranny that can handle the HP gains. Your autotragic tranny will die quite fast with any real beating on it.

Prolly wont do low 14's with a 65 zex. Do they make, like an 85 shot? Did you put colder copper plugs in that? Before I sold it to you , I put in autolight platniums.
