I need high end power real bad. How do I get more high end without sacrificing my low end??

shorty header and high flow cat pipe not race header...if ur looking for non sacrificed low end. and after that get some FR stage 1 or 2 cams and some gears

I agree with Pete...
The answer to bad high end power is in the camshafts..
That's what makes the SVT such a V-tec slaying machine because of it's cams....I don't know if you own an edition of Focus Fanatic but HKS used a combination of Esslingar (mispell) cams and a stock cam and they claimed it gave them good mid and high end power...

But unlike Pete, I would suggest going for 4-1 header rather then a shorty header...The 4-1 header gives better high end power plus it just gives you more horses over all...Don't worry about losing low end power on a Zetec motor...Zetec motors are torquey devils and a major lost of low end power shouldn't be all too bad with a 4-1 header (actually it might even give you some power.....who knows)...

Oh yeah...a sport chip would be good...extending your RPMs well also help you keep up with high revving cars and a good flywheel well also help you reach those high ends alot faster.

I hope this info helps...

Get stg II crowers, saying you sacrifice low end power is retarded. You definitely get a kick at 4k, but how often are you below 4k when racing anyays
? I love em, highly recommend em.

If u dont alrdy have it, and bomz or AEM true cold air intake, will give u gains from 3000up, will lose a little down low. But if ur racing on the strip u are rarely at low rpms.

how much do you want thats the question

FS 4-2-1 race header

FR stage 2 intake, stage 1 exhaust...maybe a stage 3 intake stage 2 exhaust. I KNOW the former works...haven't seen a dyno of the latter but I hear it ain't too bad.

And of course intake, possibly TB.
