[@edwardmyers1746]

Will definitely be looking forward to this series a lot. What I will recommend is a shift kit for the tranny if you're looking for firm and not so lazy shifts, instead of bumping line pressure. That's the way I have my mercury set up. My shifts are firm and quick underload because of my adjusted accumulators and plate passageways, but my tune still has fairly stock pressures. I'm able to have great engagement and shift feel without bumping pressures.

[@HymezKidd]

This is great man... A lot of guys don't/won't understand why we would mod something like a town car and "waste money, time or effort"... But thats alright. This is America and they don't have to. 🤘 .

It was fun watching this video. Thanks for letting us ride along with you! Numbers were a bit low but you are finding out how and what it takes to improve them. From an enthusiast standpoint that is what it's all about. I think that Lincoln will have some surprises in store. Enjoy the ride brother!

[@sfcjones2590]

did a dyno on my 07 Tahoe after I put a low lift cam in. Biggest mistake was tires were s rated. once I went to 127 mph I develop 3 big wrinkles not to mention my cats were getting too hot. So after 3 pulls I was done for the day. I only got 300 hp and forgot the torque values. Going to put long tubes on and delete the rear o2 Sensors and go with 93 octane. Eventually I want 450 at the wheel so I will need to install a pro charger to get that.

[@buckberthod5007]

If you're looking for power, id add a turbo on it, port the intake and heads, put a set of headers on it, go with a slightly bigger set of injectors, add a cam, tune it by advancing timing and adding fueling, get the perfect AFR, tune the TCM to optimize the shift points, and run her on 93. Those 4.6s are stout bastards. They're akin to a Chevy 350 in the amount of beating and abuse they can take without giving any problems.

[@1997obspsd]

Good numbers. 2v aren't power houses. We have a 2v that's boosted (ProCharger) 8psi, 42lb Injectors other bolt ons . It made 340hp don't remember tq.

[@flamewolf9030]

my 01 has 4.10 gears in the back I'm still waiting on my 2300 rpm stall converter to come in so when I put my comp cam stage 2 cams in it will be ready to have a full Dyno tune my exhaust is side exit true dual flow master super tens under the front doors and I have fun being a total off set to regular running 32 inch all terrain tires though it is still funny when I fly down the highway people still slow down and pull to the side thinking I'm the troopers that patrol the area

[@Nathan_Jay]

Buddy of mine just slapped a supercharged LS in his P70...excited to see what it makes at the dyno 👁️👄👁️

[@808ecobeast7]

In my opinion the limiting factor on the 4.6 2 valve is the valve to piston clearance. I had used the Trick Flow heads that moved the valves to the deeper side for a bigger cam. It was all good until I dropped a valve so that came to an end (took them 1 year to make my heads, nah I'll pass). Next time I'll just use aftermarket pistons...

[@readylucas]

I feel like the best bet with a car like this would be to swap on mustang heads/manifold before doing any other mods

[@jdigitalseven7]

Closed hood dyno should be more accurate..unless they expect people to drive with no hood/hood up everywhere. Cools better than a closed hood obviously.

[@Maroco918]

Driving also has airflow, alot more than these fans. I imagine it evens out somewhat

[@EffequalsMA]

Me love the tune on my 2014. Got a quality tune from a reputable vendor, especially since I have an automatic Mustang. Generally I leave it on 87 tune and set the shift fitness to stock pressures. Runs around a ok. Upping the line pressure makes bark more but introduces a light low speed driveline clunk, which is annoying.

[@Blackinterceptor999]

I got the 87 tune, Gas is Waaaaaay expencive here....If prices ever drop back down I'll switch...I'd love to run E85 and boost though!!!!

[@briandavismurphy]

These cars are rated at 239 HP , seems like quite a gap, engine sounds great nevertheless

[@1997obspsd]

If it's rated at 239 That means it's right on the money because you got to expect 15 to 20% drivetrain loss and I usually cut the difference unless it's in that truck at 18% and 18% of that would be close to 190 to 195 rwhp.

3.73 gears are a step in the right direction for sure. But on a heavy car like the Town Car you might wanna consider 3.90 gears or even 4.10 gears. These modular motors prefer to rev. You might want to get the Mark VIII torque converter and add a shift kit for firmer shifts.

I’d throw a Kenne Bell supercharger and make it a Grandma Terminator and start taking on Porsche’s and more!

[@Robs_Got_A_Gun]

That 4.6 would sound a little Deeper tone if the X pipe was changed to a H pipe in the Exhaust, i know the X pipe is supposed have better Flow, But to see a difference you'd have to run a Big Block under some Big Boost. My 5.7 Hemi was X Pipe with 2 Glass Packs (Cherry Bombs) and 3 Inch Chrome Long Bologna Style Tips, it had so much "Drone" sound at 2k RPM, Changed it to "H Pipe" and now it sounds like a Deep Toned Truck people keep asking me why it sounds Deep Like a Truck

@@Terminxman a higher stall converter will not ruin driveability as you don't go stupid with high rpm stall speed and you retain the lock up feature of the converter. I run a 2600 rpm stall converter with 3:55 gears and have no complaints. Car is much faster out of the hole and I can still cruise the highway and retain 24 or higher mpg on highway. One caveat is you will need to add additional cooler to the transmission line.

0 to 60 is more important to me than dyno numbers.

[@RJ_Cormac]

I told you that speed limiter would be an issue during tuning, and removed. It would be easier to Dyno if they changed the shift points, so they can lock it into a gear over a set speed, it won't downshift. Mine won't go into 2nd over 60, locks in OD over ~85. Did they deactivate the rear O2 as well?

[@FordBossMe]

They just did their thing I don't know what they ended up getting the speed limiter out of it and they ended up unlocking the torque converter with a special tune so they could go in and actually see what's going on and this is what we ended up with

[@RJ_Cormac]

SCT is good stuff, I forget the model I had, but it came with their OBD-II scanner that would allow me to upload a tune or put it back to factory. I don't remember if I paid extra or if the one I got had the individual software for me to make my own tuning changes. I could change the air intake & MAF, injectors, trans shift points, lots of stuff if I wanted. It was nice to do simple stuff and not have to pay for another visit to the tuner. My(our) vehicles aren't going onto their website to get attention and more customers, they like the LS and Coyote vehicles with big dyno numbers or drag times for promotional needs. A Ford Bronco and Lincoln Town Car. Does your SCT module have a USB port on the side for a laptop and wideband oxygen sensor?

[@RJ_Cormac]

@@FordBossMe it's really hard to Dyno a vehicle that won't stay in the 1:1 transmission gear. Manuals are best, old slush boxes need their special 2-1-2 gear selector move (or whatever it takes) to make the valve body stay in the preferred gear. You should drop the trans, and do your own valve body and spring refresh. I'm sure you can handle that in 20 minutes, I spent 2 hours because I was afraid of moving a check ball or losing it. 😁🤯

[@MormonMustang_]

I predicted 203. You're right on par. Only way to really put some ass in the 2V without a blower or Nitrous is heads/ cam . E85 is a game changer. You'd have to get someone like Darrel Wyngard, John Lund or Rob Shoemaker to tune you at that point. That shit canned tune won't throw hardly any timing in the car for e85 and interested to see if there's any thrown in it with the 93. I'd go supercharger all day long. That engine can hold 450 rwhp.

Had an 03v CVPI It wasn't fast but it was still fast enough to be fun. I did a few small mods. But nothing like long tubes or a real intake.

Nice video. The HP & TQ numbers you got are about what the 4.6L 2V gets. Imagine how much worse they would have been if the hood was closed, like it is when you drive the car? I didn't care for the SCT tune for my '08 P71. The modified transmission pressures, shift points, and overall behavior were way too aggressive. The car would kick out sideways a little under moderate throttle in the rain or snow. In my opinion, Ford had the P71 transmission parameters set correctly, and far better than the civilian parameters. I would like to suggest that if you're running any rear end gear ration higher then 3.55, to get a rear lube modification for the transmission like - www.bcawebstore.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=10 For the original AOD, Ford came up with an "Improved rear lube" kit that became standard starting in 1988.
