Good job man! I'm going to Ottawa first week in March, how'se about I swing by your place? j/k!

I don't stop for nothin, I'm always trying to set a new record for Windsor-Ottawa. Howse 6h 20min for 770km sound? That's an average speed of 120km/h *including* gas and food stops!

ZX3:If you don't call me, you will never see your Superchip again. I will hold it and the program hostage until I hear your voice telling me how that car ran after the S/C. If you think that I am kidding, I will let you see a picture of your chip to prove that I mean business. I haven't hurt your chip yet, but, time is of the essence. The longer it takes to get a call, the beter the chances that your chip will be harmed. Do not notify the police. If I hear sirens, the chip is a goner!!!

Free BBQ and DosXXs!

Now THATs what I call a sleeper! I'm excited for you man!

Lets see...you had about 150hp before. Plus 40% (advertised increase) is 210hp! Subtract driveline losses and you are at about 176hp at the front wheels! Wow!

A month ago or so I swore you said you had one of the prototype JRSC. Then you disappeared for a while. Am I mistaking you for someone else?

Got you beat, Windsor to Ottawa in 5h 50min!

Cruise control at 190 is sweet! I figured around 125KPH as well with two stops for gas.
 
Ducman69: I am in Lake Charles, La. I am installing my JR S/C this Saturday. Give me a call, it's a much shorter drive to Lake Charles than to Canada. Besides, those Canadians know absoloutely nothing about BBQ or Gumbo! Give me a call 1-888-544-4626
I have the Superchip with the S/C program also. I will, hopefully, have the DiabloSport Chip with the S/C program by Sat. also. I will test without the chip, with the Superchip, and with the DiabloSport Chip. May the shortest quarter-mile times win!!!

Kick Mucho Ass!

Cajun,

I guess a picture with the chip tight up with a rope will make a much heavier statement.

I can't wait for the warranty to wear out. Screw the SVT, I am getting myself a Force Induction ZX3!

Hey Silver ZX3.
I emailed this page to Oscar Jackson to let him know everything went OK. He had the following advice for you.

"Remind him that the stock Focus cooling system
runs very hot to keep all the sensors at peak operating condition. This
helps the cold start up emissions. But, it gets the motor hot very quickly
when running on the dyno. So tell him to be conservative with how quickly
he makes back to back runs so as not to over work the cooling system.

Also, his biggest problem getting the Focus to make more power is to get
rid of the pea shooter throttle body and the close coupled catalyst. All
the chip tuning in the world isn't going to help if you can't get the air
in or out."

You have the CAT part already covered I know.
Good luck.
Shawn

Hey Cajun...thanks for the offer! But I think I'm too lazy to drive out of Texas even, as it takes about 7 hours from Austin.
Image
Although, I think you are only about 3-3.5 hours away from Houston!

So it sounds like there is an arms race going on! Luckily everyone ends up a winner...except us unmodified slow-mos.

Do you reuse the stock throttle body with the JRSC?? I thought it came with a different unit all together.

WOW guys, I am overwhelmed

I just got back home about 2 hours ago, so I'll try to respond your questions one by one.

First of all thanks for all the compliments. I hope I'll be able to return them to most of you soon
Image


mrdetail and cajun,
Your assistance and technical support is beyond words, I thank you!

nazthug,
Dyno scans tomorrow. Can I spin in 2nd? In 1st I could spin until I shread the tires. That's all I have to say
Image


wrcfan,
Thanks, I feel like a pioneer in the wild west! I'm still holding my right hand on the gun
Image


sho,
I'll do some 0-60 testing for sure once I put the upgraded Superchip.

nazthug,
We'll see the 100% once I put back the Superchip, the cold air intake and adjust the cam gears. Then we'll talk!

lt7d101,
Clutch, oil cooler, throttle body and who knows what else?

P-51,
Anytime, just let me know when. Is gonna be a pleasure to meet you.

Cajun,
I got home too late, but I'll call you in the morning, before I go to the dyno.

Ducman69,
I don't know if I'll drive to Texas, although you never know with me. And contrary to some opinions, I LOVE GOOD RIBS
Image


Dwainedibbly,
That is why I don't have a joint account, blink blink!

S. on Da 5
That's the spirit!!!

mrdetail,
Throttle body will be replaced, gotcha!

PhocusZX3
No throttle body is part of the kit. You get plenty in the kit, and a replacement should not cost that much.

I'll post again tomorrow with the scaned dyno charts!
God's speed to all of you!
