Does anyone recommend any cam gears over the other? I was looking at getting a set of Ford Racing ones thru Steve. Pros/Cons of the Ford ones?
Has anyone experimented with different intake manifolds? Ford sells a ZX2 manifold. And Focus Central makes one as well. Does anyone know anythig about those?
I'm looking for bolt-ons that will help out the Supercharger put more power to the ground.

HotRodWagon wrote: As far as the manifold goes, I guess it depends on how much boost you plan on having. The FC one is no longer in production. I'd consider spending the $$ on a FR head and use an early 01 manifold. The FR manifold is a nice piece, but you won't get the real benefit from it without head work.

It is said to help na motors reach 170 whp. Evidentally this was conpared with a dyno, and the early had better gains. With FI though, I'm not sure it would be that measurable. Plus, I still say get the head. That will give you the power you're looking for.
