Has anyone dyno´d their car? I´m just wondering about how much hp/torque my car is putting out. K&N conical intake with outside air feed, 4-2-1 pacesetter ceramic coated header, and a 2.5" catback exhaust. Anyone care to make an EDUCATED guesstimate? ´Cuz short of doing a dyno run myself, I have no idea....

I was checking out the post on performance cams, and the web site www.escortfocus.com was mentioned. I checked it out and they had a good tech section with power ratings for various escorts. They even had an article about your Header you might really want to read.

I read the article and it appears to relate to the 1.9 liter engine, not the 2nd gen GT. I have the 1.8 Mazda BP with matching Pacesetter header. In removing the header to paint, I noticed that it does a pretty good job of matching up to the exhaust ports. The only problem MIGHT be the gasket as it appears to partially block the bottom of cylinder #3 by a millimeter or so. Easily correctable with a grinder. I soon plan to do a mild port on the header primaries where they connect to the flange - there´s gains to be had there as it´s easier to flow from small to large diameter, plus a slight oversize on the primaries will aid in anti-reversion.
