One of the quickest—and most affordable ways—to perform
Ford Focus ZX3
tuning is to install a performance chip (or chip tuner). Chip tuners basically trick your vehicle’s onboard computer into thinking it has a bigger and more powerful engine, so you can get some performance boosts without spending a ton of money on more extensive engine upgrades.
Chip tuners generally range between $85 and $350 and provide the following benefits:
  • Increased horsepower: generally up to 35 additional HP
  • Increased torque: Up to 88 lb-ft additional torque
  • Better fuel economy: Up to 6 MPG increase
Customizing your vehicle is a great way to express yourself—and customizing your car insurance is a great way to save money. In just under 45 seconds on the
