<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">it still depends... if now u are unhappy with your low to mid range power.. then go with FC..Originally posted by Shiva Chaos:
So technically since my whole power band is now abouve 4000 with my cams.... it would be a better complement to go with teh FC RH?

Umm.. actually to make signficant power you need RPM.... NA you aren't going to dyno over 170hp with only 7000 rpms.. you need to have more RPM than that to make power..

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I agree! My FC race header was on for less than 2 months and started rusting. Now I think that it's only surface rust and will be replaced but I'm thinking about going the FS route when I get the replacement.Originally posted by UltegraSTI:
i have wonders of y FC has 2 revise their stuff so much...all 4 i've seen, regardless of revision stage, have cracked b4 6mths of service
hmmm...i did use their ORP 4 a about 4-5mths w/o a hiccup though.

Another thing to consider is that the Dyno tests were done with the cam gears at a certain setting, which might favor the FC race header. I think you MIGHT have gotten different gains if you would have tried to tune the cam gears after installing the FS race header.
What do you think about this?
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Focus Central has been running their car to 8200 rpm on the stock bottom end. No problems... I rev mine up to 7300 or 7400, the only problem I have encountered is the clutch not releasing...I hope you don't think your stock bottom end is going to hold together for very long at 8,000 RPMs.
We're no longer hindered by the rev limiter on the Focus, but that doesn't mean we're going to pretend that we can go nuts. 7,400-7,500 is more than sufficient.
