I have come to the conclusion, after much reading and perusal of this forum, that tuning a crossflow is not a cost effective means of obtaining horse
power. The decision I have come to with mine, is to NOS it for a while and then at some point in the future to swap for a zetec/duratec or go the BEC
route. Much more bang for the bucks!

I'm not too sure he's actually looking at building it, as he may still be after buying a complete car.
Could be wrong though.
