Mine is a 2004 zx3 with a 5 speed. I agree with the earlier post that this forums isn't for performance. Which is fine, I go elsewhere for that stuff, and in reality my car is fine for back roads where little power is needed, Im probably going to do the "invisible" aero mods because looks of a car a truly more important than a 2mpg gain. Ill most likely do the underbody and possible grill mods, along witht he block heater. I havent figured out my mileage, but I really just want to lower my highway mileage because I don't have the discipline to keep it under 2k rpms in the city, I do 2.5k most of the time to keep the little shift arrow from lighting up on the dash. But I know that next year in college im going to be strapped for cash so that may change.

For the Cam, the year does not matter, neither would the transmission, however the Lower Engine Cradle is different betweent the Focus Zetec and ZX2 Zetec, so you'd have to swap a bunch of stuff over that would not make it worth while. I believe the ZX2 cams would be considered a "Stage 1" cam for the Focus. I believe the only difference is a small amount of lift and duration.
Tuning would help no matter what, more ign. advance and such always helps. I'd highly recomend trying the Air dam as well as the grill blocks. Don't be ashamed
Invest in the ScanGauge II and learn to drive better and you will be rewarded far more for that investment vs. all the others. When your ready to really push the limits....let us know
