Geoff, I have yet to install my Gude head package, but when I do, I will have an opinion which I will put on the site. The Gude package includes boring out the...
I was just looking at the Ford performace parts website, and came across the FR200. I am impressed, though its a little too fancy on the outside perhaps for my...

Fancy isn't the word! :( It's downright FUGLY! No, it wasn't the basis for the SVT. FR200=turbo, SVT=not. I think it's just a toy from a time when Ford had...
There have been a lot of mixed results with the Gude head package. Personally I have seen a lot of poor results. You probably would be better off getting the...
I was getting on the highway behind a GSR this week. When he got onto the highway, he seemed to be going a little slow, so I pulled into the left hand lane and...

Hey guys, just out of interest to anybody thinking of making a turbo header for their Zetec using a Focus header, I just did some research, and it turns out...
Most I've ever heard of start with 304 (from scratch), but I would imagine 409 will stand up ok. It's interesting that the flange is just run of the mill (no...
