High Performance Ford Focus Builder's Handbook
Life-long automotive enthusiast Richard Holdener's connection with Fords began when he special ordered a 5.0L LX Coupe to which he added a roll cage, harnesses and a fire system and took racing as an SSGT car. His first race resulted in a win, and later that car became somewhat of a legend, having run in nearly all of the Silver State Classic open road races, including an overall win at an average speed of 167 miles per hour. During one of the events at which the boost was increased to 9 psi, the Vortech supercharged 5.0 Liter was timed at 193 mph on the 13-mile straight. "The Little LX That Could" has been featured in "Hot Rod," "Car Craft," "Super Ford," "Muscle Mustang and Fast Ford" and even in "Road & Track"'s Supercar issue. Holdener has written numerous articles on the Ford Focus for a number of Ford and sport compact enthusiast magazines. He lives to conduct dyno tests.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
