The ECU tuning professionals at Superchips have launched a new software upgrade for the Ford Fiesta Zetec S found in the UK. From the factory, the Ford 1.6-liter Ti-VCT (twin independent cam timing engine) produces 120 horsepoer. After the Superchip ECU installed, figures show a 10 bhp power increase at 5,986 rpm, and 13 extra newton meters of torque at 4,390 rpm. The car tuning company announced that this will work with either the 95 or 98 octane fuel, and if driven conservatively, will maintain the Ford Fiesta Zetec 48 mpg fuel economy.

Here is the first run Ken Block has ever made in his new Ford Fiesta Rally Car, preparing for the Sno*Drift Rally America Series. Monster released this snow drift video run yesterday when Ken Block was prepping, and the competition starts today. Check out this two and half minute video of Block packing down the icy roads of Gladwin, MI.
