A lil more boost and I see the focus walking. Focus was stopping the 5.0s pull and coming back until he had to shift.

That 5.0 sounded filthy.

Good run, more boost and it's bye bye though. And next time maybe even passengers?

I'm surprised more turbo people don't also buy WOT boxes, given how cheap they are compared to other mods they do. No matter how small your turbo is, there is still going to be a SOME lag time, so it wouldn't drop so much on the shifts.

I don't even have a turbo and I have one. HUGE difference racing using it or not. It's like controlled power shifting. On my last setup, without it I'd chirp 4th. With it 4th would go a little sideways. I only did that once.

How long before that focus destroys his drivetrain, though?

The same thing it does for the HHR. Perhaps not at pronounced if it isn't turbo also, but it's the same idea.

Yet ANOTHER great video from the SICK one! The Focus did well, but comparing the mods, the 5.0 kills it, as it should.

The box I find doesn't have 4th gen as compatible.
Does it just hook up anyway?

I'm pretty sure the N2MB box works on LS cars just fine, and some people (myself included) use the Lingenfelter LNC-002 box.
