I do not see one for the 2.3. I see one for the 2.0 but you have to look under the Ford Focus.

That's very interesting... and about time too!!
W/O doing a search I wonder how much $$$ for that 7-10hp gain?

A little over $400 for it.
I'm not sure if this will work to post a link to my flickr pics.

He said they tried to get the power to be in the RPM range where you're actually going to drive it and not way up high where you typically don't drive. Also, as long as you stay out of the gas you shouldn't see any reduction in mileage. They are not optimized for CIA cause they just spent 12 hour days trying to get these ready for SEMA. The module does more than just copy a tune since you can also set valet mode, tune for regular or premium, set top speed, set rev limiter, see trouble codes... and he said once they get some CIA tested and a new tune released it will be a free download from the internet. So... with all of that I suppose maybe you're getting more of your money out of it.
Honestly, for me, although higher in price than I would like, I walked away sold that I just might get it.

Well, I was a-thinkin' somewhere between $300-600, what I've seen others run for, but a +6hp/+7ft.lb. gain, even at the lower RPM levels, is hardly worth writing home about. I don't know if anyone would even notice that on the street in day-to-day driving?
Perhaps as a track car that could be an (slight) advantage.
Well, it is something which is more than most AM companies are offering w/o going full bore AM ECU @ 4 times the cost.

I'm surprised there is such a scarcity of power products for you guys...isn't it the Duratec 2.3? I know the Focus ST guys do pretty well with it, but then again they're not carrying around 1.5 tons.

Those gains are to the ground so that helps. I need to rework my pics but there was a 3 there with a turboed Cosworth in it.

Just curious... what do you think is a fair price for the Hypertech tuner? I would definitely consider at $300, maaaybe $350. But they were talking like $450 for it.
