Correct. I bought the tune from a Mark 8 specific tune provider (do not wish to mention names) and was not told it would be a BBR tune upon placing my order.

Car is put together, and running now. Just got it running on a mailorder SCT X4 tuner with a BBR 91 octane tune. Car still runs rough, once I get a few more problems worked out it should be good to go

Rockers/Cam followers. OEM were barely cheaper than the ones I purchased and the FR500 rockers are much better than the OEM mark 8 ones. I wanted 300 Rwhp N/a. Boost would have been easy to hit much more than 300RWHP even on 8 psi and a stock short block. I wanted the fastest n/a 4.6 4v based...

I didn't ask HOW to do it. I know how, I was asking what other similar builds made, which should also have an ET to back up their numbers. Thus I posted my question in the time slip bar. Thanks for your invaluable insight

Stock engine has the same valve springs, valves, etc. as a stock 96-98 cobra. How well do they handle being revved over 6k ALL the time? Pretty easily.

Uhm, "all this money" needed to be spent anyways. I needed a new engine. I had wiped out cam lobes on the passenger intake and exhaust cams and had metal shavings go through my motor, and had a blown head gasket, and piston slap, so regardless I was already looking at a rebuild. The only...

This is in an 1997 Lincoln Mark VIII bud, not a SN95. That's why it doesn't need to be moved.

I have for sure seen stock 96-98 B headed Cobras dyno higher than 250 rwhp bone stock also. Pretty sure the highest I have seen is 268 RWHP with stock air filter and everything. Keep in mind the heads on my car also have quite of bit of work done to them, and I'm also running the 96-98 cams...

My mach 1 & my 85 Fox are having a couple issues right now. Mark 8 is on hold. I have the mark 8 running much better now though, and plan on finishing it soon so I can get it on the dyno

Removing Valve Covers and Installing Cobra Cams - A Complete How To With Pics - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club This is a UN-degreed cam swap

Their are a bunch of other tests showing an obvious HP gain with those cams. Ask NASVT what he thinks about the 96-98 cams making HP. Obviously a set of aftermarket cams are much better, but on a budget 4V these cams are worth an easy 15-20 rwhp.

I realize you can calculate a cars rwhp based off of the trap speed of an ET lol. We will see, I still think 282 rwhp is doable as a minimum. IMRC deletes are also dyno proven to add HP at high RPMS if you sacrifice low end torque by installing them. And the Accufab TB is definitely worth around...

Anyone have dyno numbers on a 96-98 cobra intake cam swap? - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club BTW this is a good read on the 96-98 cam gains.

I agree 100%. The 99-01 cobra is a great car btw I always wanted one. I have the 97 mark viii, 03 mach 1, a heads/cam 1985 GT, and a 2 other project cars, maybe once those are where they need to be ill look into buying one or a termi. I would have gone supercharged if the Mark 8 didn't already...

My heads have been shaved, and you get a slight increase in dynamic compression having a larger bore from being bored .020 like me, it might be near immeasurable but it is a definite increase. My heads were not shaved much though. My heads had the exhaust ports ported pretty well too, and the...
