NAWZZZZ!!!!! or a eaton blower or a kenne bell blower from kenne bell. the you can make the v-tech lovers eat you rubber.

anyways, i have a good sized stereo in my car along with underdrive pullies and my stereo works fine along wiht my a/c.

they really dont affect things that much, but if they affetct your power very much just power a 1 farad capacitor off the for sale forums for $50. i have a high powered rockford fosgate and a 1 farad cap. and i see absolutly no power loss at all when im bumping the stereo.

The Jackson Racing Supercharger seems to be the niche of choice among Focus owners. Average #'s are around 180-190 with good tuning. Considering your only starting with 130, that's a pretty good increase in power

The underdrive pulley is a great bolt on if you have all the accessories, power steering etc. With a 25% (most common) you should see about a 5-7 horsepower gain.

Do the free mod as well. The pots mod has been dyno'd at over 10+ hp gain with a few dollars in parts. Go check out focaljet.com if you haven't already.

The UDP (undrive pulley) is where you gain the power at, the other pulleys are over drive pulleys so that your accessories produce at normal rates instead of 25% less.

you dont gain power by losing weight, I would opt for a set of headers before wasting in a pulley ..aslo get a capacitor for your system

edit...saw that you had headers already...umm spray it, upgrade your ignition and spray it

Zetecs don't like spray.

Put all the normal bolt-ons into it, then buy the JRSC and show these Mustang people how more displacement doesn't always mean you'll win
