I think so, from memory it puts out 110kw / 190Nm from factory, my current LV is 107kw/ 185Nm but of course the Fiesta is a fair bit lighter. My model has the same air filter as the XR5, I fitted a K & N (E2993) to it not long after I bought it and that along with a sports muffler has improved it heaps over stock. I don't want to go overboard whilst it's still in the early stages of new car warranty either. I don't see minor modifications, or even a flash tune, doing anything other than improving the way the car runs and probably prolonging the engines life. I want to try and pick up another stock airbox and have a bit of a play with that and try and get some more cold air flow going, the trouble is a lack of play room under the bonnet :(
