Hi Lindon
You say yours is a stage 1 , this engine is a stage 3 , I have been told it has a billit crank rods and 7.5;1 compression pistons it also comes with a 100% bigger chargecooler. He has said 540hp does this sound right .On the web alli find is the 385 spec but stage 3 seems to be more 3v or full monty 32v s/c engines? I must admit 385 is still good power so if its only that for the price its still a cheap upgrade. I WORK NIGHTS!! When i was on my way home this morning i poped in to my local factory centre,, and had a play ,, need a passanger door wiper lol lv the lsd goes sideways well. Bring back the days of capris and the old vitesse. When i was a we nip myself and mates used to have mk1 and 2 escorts, We used the same factory cen and a practice track but we used to buy diesel and chuck it on the road .This was great fun It was like driving a 300hp car..at 17. Now i see the error of my ways honest....
