My friend was putting his Focus ST on the rolling road this afternoon, thought I would take my cougar along to see how many horses have escaped from its 9 year old engine. I was pleasantly surprised:
179 BHP, I think that an extra BHP for every year old it is. Next year I could have 180???
Only mods are an st200 airbox and with K&N panel filter. ItÔÇÖs got magncor HT leads, but donÔÇÖt think that would make any difference.
Recently I was thinking of getting st200 UIM, LIM and throttle body, but most people with those mods rarely get over 190 BHP with my setup, so now personally I think they are really not worth the expense for the extra horses.
I think I'm better spending my money on an exhaust system, will make it sound better as well.
