Re: question

98-00 Zetec are equipped with VCT (Variable Cam Timing)

95-97 Zetecs are not, They have EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation).

Focus zetecs are basically the same, Just more horsepower stock.

Re: question

It's probably possible.

But why? When the VCT Solenoid goes that a 600 dollar fix. If you think it will make you faster, No. It will give you a whopping 5 more HP, and practically no torque.

Basically... EGR > VCT
