300+ hp from a 2.3 liter ?

Oh my could you imagine one in a Fiesta ST ? I bet the Focus ST guys are drooling a bit.

The 2.3 does have a lot of items on my wish list but as far as I can tell it is not available yet and until it goes in the Focus RS, there won't be a transverse FWD application so its more than a swap.

I'm becoming tempted to do a 2.0 swap, if you can make the car electrically a Focus ST you can actually get tuning software...

I would rather just upgrade the 1.6 but without a tuning option, my patience is being tried.
