whats this about a street flight supercharger???you mean the streetflight turbo kit (now ADC), they sold there last kits AFAIK.. if you mean the vortech S/C don't even considering it.

BeyondLoadedSE on here will be able to explain more about FI on Duratecs than I could, I'm more into Zetecs.

low 13s is deffinetly possible, BeyondLoadedSE will give you all the help you need, he has close to a 400whp 3.0L Turbo Contour.

The Street Flight turbo is now known as Arizona Dyno Chip. That is the only turbo kit that exists for the Contour/Cougar. Their website is www.arizonadynochip.com. They are however changing to a cheaper kit to meet mosts peoples needs. Their $5500 and $6000 kit will no longer be made. Some other websites to check out that are all mentioned on contour.org are www.spmotorsports.com, www.ctamotorsports.com, www.batinc.net, www.msdsinc.com, www.trubendz.com, the list goes on. Most people also swap in a 3.0L duratec motor as well. A guy over on contour.org has the fastest N/A 3.0L with a run of 13.4. The fastest turbo time is a 13.2. The problem with this car is traction. If you want low 13s, you better have drag radials, beefed up axles, a good clutch, and a quaife/torsen lsd. If you have one without the other, something is going to break. :disappoin

There was also a new SC being made in limited quantities. I can't recall the details though. Check the forced induction forum on CEG. Your biggest problem will be putting the power to the ground. Like Beyondloaded said, these cars are absolute dogs in the traction area. It will take alot of skill and practice to get any kind of decent numbers. Personally, I'd start with a 3.0 swap first and then work on FI. Some of the 3.0's are running 13's NA.
