JG Edelbrock "Focuses" On Performance

Pro Flo Headers For Ford Focus Zx3 On Display In Booth 1552 At Sema International Auto Salon

LONG BEACH, Calif. (April 19, 2002) – Highlighting its full range of high-tech engineered, easy to install performance products for the sport compact market, JG Edelbrock will feature its popular Ford Focus ZX3 Pro Flow header in booth 1552 at the SEMA International Auto.

Made in America and designed for the 2001-02 Ford Focus ZX3 with a 2.0 Z-Tec 4-cylinder engine, these Pro Flo headers (part No. 4748) include great features such as CNC mandrel-bent tubes and laser-cut flanges.

Made of 16-gauge ceramic-coated steel, dyno tests proved JG Edelbrock Pro Flo headers outperformed the stock manifold by more than 15 ft./lbs. of torque on an automatic transmission-equipped Focus and more than 5 ft./lbs. with a manual transmission. In both cases, the torque curve was improved across the rpm range.
