When Aero Chargers were putting down bad ass power numbers? When low boost JR focus were thought to be fast? How far we have come. How far back do you guys remember when it comes to focus FI?

remember when aerocharger jim got on here daily and responded to pm's with a quickness? Remember the day he posted that he made a 13.9??? second run with the tool box in the back of his car? Remember the arguments started by nazthug? Ahh, yes, those were the days.

I remember giving Naz a ride in my turbo ZX3 with water injection, slipping trans, and 5th injector for tuning at the '02 FFW in Norwalk, OH. Everyone else signed up for the Focus Frenzy and I was the only Focus in the Street class and walked away with a Trophy and $100 for a stinking 15.8 sec run. HAHAHAHA!!!! And I had to borrow a pair of long pants from Tom to make the run. No shorts allowed! LOL!

.... still got my 5th fuel injector, an Autologic chip, and Toluene cans in the garage...
Toluene...lol. I've also got a 5th injector but never installed it. I've gone through two turbos, two intercoolers, two engines....and I don't even have a Focus.

It looks like you registered on the same day I did, Weld. That's funny.

You people are aging yourselves. I am a youngin.

Remember when...there were angry people waiting for CARB and the release of the zetec PW kit?? (I started reading in FI around Christmas)

Remember back in the day when Tom was here. Ahh.. good old days.
Good man. We're missing out on alot without him here.

He still is here, at least I have gotten PM's on another board about posts I only made here....

Besides if you miss him so much you can always check the other board for him. Just look for any thread having to do with FI and you'll see him posting in it about his kit, even if it was a direct question not related to his kit by any means, he will tell you all about how his kit is superior. Just imagine if we were all this way and only focused on one way of doing things insisting that was the only way, MAN just think of what we could accomplish!

I try not to think back prior to SCT software, leads to night terrors.

.... still got my 5th fuel injector, an Autologic chip, and Toluene cans in the garage...
And remember P-51's "Better than Sliced Bread" thread that's responsible for about 50% of my post count? That was a definate milestone in Focus Forced Induction history.

I went from a no-tuning ACII kit, to a 5th injector set-up, to a full blown and slightly modified external wastegate ACIII kit(Thanks Rod!!!) with the SCT PRP.

Anybody remember my air/fuel from my dyno with and without that 5th injector way back in the day? Now, that's good tuning...

Remember AeroJim's offer of a Lobster dinner for the first 100mph pass?

So what's better: Turbocharger or Supercharger?

OT: Holy crap! Halo's back! I thought you must have a perma-ban. What's it been, seven weeks?

Welcome back. And tread lightly.

on-topic: I remember back in the day when the Quaife was $600, rather than $700 (damned exchange rate!
