Well stock, the car runs 350Nm/258lbs ft. Just chipping it brings the total to 430Nm/317lbs ft. Upgraded breathing helps too. Stock the car ran about 10psi. Im running a 17psi version of their chip. www.speedtuningusa.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science Abuse Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 I'm likely going to be replacing my T-bird with a Volvo. I've got a kid ont he way and the V70's have been very apealing, but I'd settle for the right non'wagon 4 door. I'm looking for turbo, AWD, and reliability for under $15k, recomendations?
