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...

I wanted the V-3 unit that is self contained. It seemed like the easiest route. I couldn't find any used V-3s local to me but new I know they are around 4-5k for the V-3, not counting injectors, tune, BAP or aftermarket pump, and everything else I would need. I have less than that in this...

I'm 100000000000% fine with the car making even 240 rwhp if that is what it is supposed to make with these mods, but it isn't. My only point is that I have seen much more RWHP than 220-230 with the same combo in the same car as mine. Id be shocked if it made less than 255 rwhp tbh. But I am a...

I did do research. A vortech V-3 self contained unit is what I wanted to run, but with the cost of the V-3 kit, injectors, BAP or upgraded fuel pump, and a decent rotating assembly to actually handle over the stock max 450 rwhp it wasn't cost effective to me at all. Still not seeing how I added...

These do, they have less friction than the stock 4V followers. Look up FR500 followers. They are also 5 grams per follower lighter than stock ones. You don't really think Kooks headers, full exhaust w/ an offroad X pipe, no cats, JLT intake, Accufab TB, IMRC deletes, 96-98 cams w/ 20 degrees...

Well I certainly didn't come here for any attitude from you, just opinions on what people thought my car would make. I thought I made that pretty clear from my post....

So Kooks long tubes, Ported 96-98 cobra intake, 96-98 cobra intake cams, ported heads, FR500 rockers, IMRC deletes, Full 2.5" exhaust w/ O/R X pipe, JLT intake, and Accufab TB is worth 10-15 rwhp in your opinion? Did I read that correctly? Ill take it to the track and get dyno numbers once I...

I have seen cars similar to mine making 270 rwhp without the FR500 followers, clean up on the heads, IMRC deletes, 96-98 cobra intake cams, JLT intake, or Accufab. And those numbers were from a 97-98 mark 8 running the 4r70W auto. I'm not disagreeing with anyone, I have never had my car dyno'd...

The 96-98 cobra intake is dyno proven to add about 20 rwhp on a 97-98 mark 8 alone with their restrictive intake manifold they have from ford (mine is also ported upper w/ divider removed & lower is ported). I added the 96-98 cobra cams ( they have 20 degrees more duration than the stock mark 8...

A bone stock Gen 2 Mark viii like this makes around 220 Rwhp bone stock with the factory non cobra intake manifold, stock exhaust, stock everything the way it left Ford. I don't see how with everything I have done to this car it would be at stock power levels. Your 100% spot on about the dyno...

Hello, New member here. I have a few projects right now. One of which is nearing it's end. I have a 1997 Lincoln Mark VIII that I am hoping to reach 300 rwhp or better with. New engine Is still getting tweaked to run properly, rebuild was just completed. Mod/ build list is as follows: Engine...
