Any ideas on add-on mods to a 2004 Crown Vic police car that won't cost a mint that will give it a little more get-up and go? It has to be mods that aren't obvious to brass looking at the engine also.

Not just the '97s but we have alot of those so that's what I always call them. I hate any pre99 Vic, I hate the body style and they have the weaker motor (non P.I. (performance improved) 4.6). One of our officers said the only thing he liked about them was the front-end of the car was shorter but it was just a personal thing for him I guess.Sniperfox said:Was the 97 version a lead sled?
That's a very good point. IMO, the stock tune in the CVPIs leaves alot to be desired, especially in the trans settings. I hate how they seem to just slide into second gear. If anything I'd chip it just so the car shifts right.9A Pilot said:The thing about altering the tune on fleet vehicle..like with a hand held flash tuner with revised(higher) timing curve..Don't P71 CV's use plain ol' regular gas?..If you bumped timing,you'd need premium..& if someone else put gas in it,they wouldn't know any better..
