This isnt your everyday Ford Contour. I bought this 1996 Ford Contour January of 1998 from North Brothers Ford. My original intent was to just do a few minor mods like wheels, tint, exhaust, etc. As the years went by, I loved this car so much I couldnt possibly get rid of it. I figured it was time to get serious and let the modding begin.
A few of the big modifications worth listing are:
1999 3.0L 24V Duratec longblock Forged Aluminum Ross Racing 8.5:1 pistons Forged 4340 Chromoly Pauter Connecting Rods 1mm overbore and balanced crank Clevite 77 and Federal Mogul bearings Arizona Dyno Chip Turbo Kit -Garrett T3/TO4E ball bearing turbo -Spearco 700 cfm Water/Air intercooler -321 Stainless steel turbo manifolds and collector pipe -Reflashed PCM from Jerry @ SCT -42lb injectors -Water resevoir and pump Walbro 255lph fuel pump Ported and polished 3.0L heads (3 angle intake, 4 angle exhaust) Mondeo ST220 3.0L valve springs 2000 SVT lower intake manifold BAT Electric Waterpump and controller 3.0L Valve covers Custom 3" Mandrel Bent Magnaflow Exhaust Dual mode dampener Bulldog Box Transmission -Quaife LSD -Zetec 3.82 final drive ratio -Post 2000 shifter forks -All new bearings Fidanza 11.5lb Flywheel SPEC Stage III clutch Driveshaft Shop Stage 2 axle shafts SVT front and rear motor mounts Energy Suspension polyeurathane inserts Apexi AVC-R boost controller Ford Lightning 80mm MAF Lotek gauge pod Autometer mechanical boost gauge Autometer electrical oil pressure gauge Autometer electrical EGT gauge 1500 degree 100' x 2" header wrap
Updated 5/22/05 364 whp, 410 wtq @ 16 psi...Run was cut short at 4700 rpms due hitting 13:1 air/fuel mixture. The good news is, it was making these numbers at only 4,700 rpms. If the pull would have been made to redline, easily a 400 whp pull seeing as how my hp numbers were slightly greater than my tq numbers on every pull.

Sweet SVT, looks like you have alot into her. I had a 95 SE for like 9yrs as a daily driver. It was a great car, never had any real major problems but i decided to change it up a little and bought this SRT4, which came pretty well off stock. Your car is a great example of the potential that the older SE's have. Keep up the good work.
