@QuikLS i got tons of tire money i got mud grapplers 40's on my 250 and i change them every 6 months @ 1,500 for all for and my lincoln got some tire bout 950 for all four so tire money is good lol
i am very surprised by the performance of mine for 280 hp its fast i beat an 02 chevy 1500 ext cab with a couple add on has bout 350 hp and i smoked him but i just cant get it to do a burnout i can only do it on certain types of roads i think its the back brakes?
hey QuikLS i was going to supercharge my 2001 it was about to be paid off and i was saving for a supercharger but it got wreaked in DEC 2010 so now im looking at getting a 03-06 model and trying to start over
QuikLS...AutumnRed here. Do you recall the maker of the cold air intake that LLSOC garage had sold to us members? The smog cert guys are asking me for a "sticker" it is supposed to have and I've got to find out who made them.
Did you switch out the engine and transmission? Cause if you didn't it was a waste of money. ls' suck my sisters got one and they ain't worth the time and money.
@JO3MORAL3S you are not very informed. I am still running the original engine and transmission - and have been supercharged for nearly 4 years. I have hit high 11's in the 1/4 and won three class tropheis in SCCA pro-solo.
Hey, do you know where I can get a super charger for mine? I know your super charger is custom, but do you know where I can get one for my 2001, with 2002 motor 3.9 v8
@asatrim this was a custom one-off build we did. we dod try to kit it - but could never get 5 people with money in hand at the same time to do it (keep the prices down by doing them in batches of five)
got some good news, the side mirrors on these fuckers are strong as HELL, I just nearly removed my driver side @ a tim hortons drive thru cause I tried to be a hotshot n pull into the service window like a dummy, thank god lincoln is ford, cuz they build these fuckers FORD TOUGH
is the 3.9 v8 motor simular the other ford 4valve mod motors? i looked at them before and they looked very simular. what im geting at is it possible to swap a 4 vlave dohc 4.6 motor in and go undetected? what about swaping a 03-04 cobra factory supercharger on the 3.9 v8? i had no idea people modded these like this.lol i had a 300hp northstar caddy that i sold cause there isnt much for it.
@BLACKLACDTS nope - it's not modular series motor - it's part of the jag AJ family. no swap possible - the LS uses a very unique electronics package (7 computers on a bus) - that would make a motor swap nearly impossible.
@QuikLS no shit. damn that sucks. i seen a wrecked ls v8 in the junkyard and just glanced at it and it resembled a mod motor to me from the quick glance. i had a friend with a 04 s-type r with the supercharged motor and it performed well runnin 13.70s stock. a tune was like a grand! so what about swaping the jag s-type r motor in it? is that possible? is the 3.9 v8 in the ls the same motor in the latest thunderbird? whats the fastest lincoln ls v8 thats known? (1/4 mile) thanks for your help.
@BLACKLACDTS the only thing similar in the jag motor is the block - so all the electronics are different - the jag also used a single-step VVT - so although it would fit, it's not a easy swap.
Not sure about the fastest LS with a 3.9 still in it - mine is low 12s
Awsome Lincoln, I'm Building Mine up as well, I was curious would you think its better to build up the first gen ls or the second? i have a first gen and im not really sure
@comptonakajsin the first gen seems easier - as the second gen has a weaker trannie (5R55S) and has VVT (variable valve timing) which could pose a difficult thing to tune.
@QuikLS yo thanks for the comment you left here for comptonakajsin, I have a nice green 01 with dark beige trim inside, your comment made me feel alot better about the fact that it isn't an 03+ model, as I was always feeling slightly shitty on the whole less HP and un improved handling on mine
is ur ls a v8 if it is do you know who makes a supercharger for i cant find one anywere i have a black 05 ls v8 and i dont want turbo i want a sc kit i woud appriciate any help u coud give me thanks for your time
@MrGjstone yes - that's mine. It is a one-off kit we built. We were kitting them up - needed to do them in batches of 5 to keep the price reasonable - believe or not - could never get 5 people who wanted one - together at the same time.
@MrGjstone yes - 2001 V8. This is a one-off proto-type we built. We intended to make a DIYer kit, in batches of 5 at a time, but could never get 5 people interested at the same time.
I really mean that dude I think this could likely take out a cobra Ive seen them burn out and that LS you got is lookin alot more obscene n powerful to the rear wheels , awesome car
@QuikLS True...however, it's a V6! Smh.. The TT V6 is pretty good(especially, the hp.)but, personally...I think, they need to make another version that, includes Ford's new 5.0 V8(for those V8 lovers, out there)! ;-)
@armymatt83 Yeah. Well..., actually, back in that day..., the Lincoln LSC had the old 'Stang 5.0(or, supposenly 5.0, lol.)! I guess, it's all about fuel economy now, with standard/luxury sedans. Smh.. I really think, that new Boss 5.0 V8 will be a good look for the new SHO/MKS tho'.. The TT V6 ain't bad at all tho'.! Picture a TT V6 in the Ford Fusion, eh??? Niccccce!!! ;-)
@QuikLS the ford dealership brought a test drive fundraiser thing to my brother's high school and i drove a white Lincoln MKS with the ecoboost engine. it is incredible
Hey did you remove the cats or replace them by any chance? Mine are plugged and I'm going to take them off but I want to know if a pipe replacement would cause any problems w/ back pressure or the O2 sensor. I haven't looked under there yet to see if I need to fab a pipe or mess w/ the O2 sensor. Any "quik" advice?

@QuikLS i have an 02 ls v8, base package with 16 inch alloys. the gas cuts off at 115mph. is it possible to hit 140 like my friend did with his 01 v8 sport package? what can i do
@KiaOn10s it should be electronically limited to 133mph. The SCT XCalibrator tuning device can also remove your speed limiter - but make sure you have tires rated for it - the base model only came with H-rated tires.
@89TTP depending on your model - sport or sport package 2000-2002 did not have a limiter and can usual hit about 147mph top speed. The base model was limited to 133mph. all 2003+ are limited to 133mph.
@QuikLS Im not 100% sure which model, when i bought it, it had the 17 inch chrome alloy wheels, so i think its a sport, but it didnt come with the select shift console what other ways could i tell which model,check the vin?
@QuikLS a i got a question i got a 02 ls v6 man and when i rev my shyt in park or in neutral the gauge wont go past 3000rpms i cant redline at all unless im driving with the sportshift and downshift too late ......is it cause i got the v6 or do i need to fix somethin i cant burn rubber or anything
@89TTP its probably because your stock tires' speed rating was rated at like 120mph so even if you get the limiter off make sure your tires can take the extra speed
Idk about anyther 01s but ive hit 140 in my 01 and it hasnt had any tuner hooked up to it im the second owner too and i know the old lady before me didnt want the extra speed. and about two weeks ago i just fuckin blew the motor whippin the shit out of an 02 4.6 gt, now im searching for another motor b/c mines done for, and im looking for some cams b/c i would like a nice big lope. anyone have any idea where i could get some?
I have an 01 v8, i love it and have beat many mustangs even my buddys 04 gt he can keep up for a moment but i still pull away and i love the look on everyones face when my luxury car blows there doors and its stock except for exhaust and all ive done there is remove the mufflers and weld some pipe up and it sounds as good as titts, im pretty damn happy with whats its capable of, but ive grown bored of the auto. would like a manual you think a 5speed tranny out of a v6 would bolt up to my engine?
@nealgrizzle nope - the getrag 221 could not handle the torque of the V8 and therefore was never offerred - it would have been a custom bell housing adaption anyway. The issues is not in trying to fab up something to fit - and add the clutch, ...etc - the real issue is to be able to reverse engineer the PCM code enough to tell it that it's not an automatic.
SCT cannot do it yet - so this is a non-starter until the electronics can be adapted.
thanks alot man! ever thought about a montage of maybe a few races and like a 0-60, id love to see that. and you could have hot rod lincoln in the back ground. hahaha
@nealgrizzle Something must b wrong with my Ls, i cant beat Gts or Cobras i can beat the v6's. The v8s have too much power and torque off the line. I want a Trans Am, True MUSTANG KILLER!!! Or i could always upgrade the Ls with a Turbo or Supercharger, id go with the SUPERCHARGER, turbos can be risky, and i would hate the LAG!!!
@armymatt83 it's all in the design, nothing to do with V8 or not. Nowadays, you have many choices in design and can size the turbos:
- one smaller for fast spool-up, one larger for higher flow
- you can get varible-vain technology
- you can etc, etc, etc.
Turbos are a little trickier to install and tune - and since we can make more power than the einge can handle (in stock form) no sense complicating it even more.
@QuikLS true when ur talking about turbos with direct injection and variable vane and depending on size but im just saying as a general rule turbo lag is traditionaly worse with 3 and 4 cyilinder engines than with a 6 and hardly there at all with a v8 or bigger engine. but ill just shut up so i dont confuse anybody
sorry i should have specified i have a 2001 ... lol i went to a muffler shop and the guy told me it would cost about 260 for flowmasters is that average? and what can i do to get a recently cheap hp boost?
@Dancler10 the mufflers are $80/each + tips+x-pipe+tubing+labor... I did mine for about $450 - and it was about 18rwhp.
you can do all the usualy bolt-ons - K&N, intake, exhaust, brakes, suspension, ...etc
the SCT XCal is a tuning product that we have been able to liminate rev/speed limiters, gain 19rwph, firm up shifts, improve shift points, ....etc it's about $400 but the only option.
Ok so you seem to be an expert on the lincoln ls lol heres what i have and here is what i want. A stock lincoln ls v8 base model ... the exhaust is way to quiet for me so i want to make it way more agressive without triping my check engine lights and whatever else might go off what is the best muffler choice? ... i would also like about 50 more hp at the cheapest price possivble can you help me sir? thanks for your time :)
@Dancler10 certainly no expert - but here is some advice.
for Gen1 LS (2000-2002) there are a couple of aftermrket cat-bat systems - Borla, Magnaflow, McLaren - however - for me they were all too soft. I went with FLowmaster 40s, magnaflow x-pipe and 2.5" piping.
Gen2 LS (2003-2006) there are no afermarket systems - so it's custom.
at colder temps - yes. but you cannot put 'heat' into them like you can a performance tire, where you get them hot and the compound reacts but softening up and getting super sticky grippy.
So although a winter compound is softer at colder temps, it never really gets to the softness or grip levels of a performance tire.
ahhh thank you, that was my helping answer, i did not know that in D5 it starts out in first! ahh okay, well that helped a bit. but now im have been forced back a step, insane amount of traction, i just had my michellin alipines mounted (high performance winter tires, dont no if you no what they are) i live in edmonton alberta in Cold Canada haha so we get alota snow and with out my winters i spin out a ridiculous amount haha
yep - I am actually from Red Deer, AB - went to school in Edmonton. The winter tires are harder than summer performance tires (I had Goodyear F1 GS-D3 in the video) - so that should help you spin them easier.
i did have the traction control off, and i am aware of the amount of power the V6 makes and the heavy weight (although it moves damb good even with that V6) plusopen diff and most likely only spinning one tire. so when i go ahead and do it i will put in the manual mode and select the lowest gear, 2nd, but the car wont drop to first till i start moving abit, but nomatter where i have the break the tires wont slip. To much traction maybe???
of course - it's too much traction (grip and weight) for the hp/torque you have - like any car. so you either get more power or reduce traction.
The automatic starts in first when in D5 - so do not bother with SST mode.
it actually takes a lot of practice to do it with a stock LS - even the V8. IT all about brake pedal control. So see with most of the other LS burnouts, they either have reduced traction with wet roads, ...etc or were rolling from the start.
i have a 2002 lincoln ls with the V6 and the sport package so it has the steptronic automatic 5 speed, so i can shift it manualy. iv seen other videos of decent burnouts, but i cant even manage to get my tires to slip??? any advice, am i just a total noob haha? and no i have not forgot to turn off my traction control either, my suspension preloads and then nothin or i make a slow roll out, no tire slip even... ???
the v6 is 200hp/215ft-lbs - not much to turn the wheels on a 3800lbs car. The suspension has a anti-dive setup which prevents the rear from lifting under heavy braking - and it also keeps the weight over the rear wheels - hard to burn out.
It is nothing more than a brake stand - a balance of holding enough brake to keep from moving, but not too much to hold the rear wheels.
The LS has an 8" open diff - so you will likely only spin one wheel.
hey quik im so done with my custom integra. i always been a big fan of the ls. i wana buy a used one with under 120k miles, but as i read other ppls msg bout their lincoln ls im having second thoughts. i hear they are no good and the ball joints messes up and tranny. what can you tell me about that?? i really do want one. ohh yea and what happends if you put like 89octane instead of 91? do u need to add like one of those octane boosters?? so please let me know. ohh by the way your car kicks ass!
it is 91+ only - compression ratio of 10.55:1 needs the higher octane. (do not fool with octane boosters, you would have to add soo much that the price difference is lost).
The first generation LS has some well known issues that are easy to fix - clockspring, valve cover gaskets, coils, transmission solenoid, window regulators.
most of these are not issues in the Gen2 LS (2003-2006).
THere are good web forums and lost of knowledge out there to help out people.
One drawback is that the LS is a difficult car to modify since there is not a large aftermarket support - so not many options available. The car is highly electronic which adds a lot of complexity.
I ran into a guy in Dallas he have a 4.2L supercharged Jag motor in his LS. He told me it is easy swap or even a 4.0L supercharged V8 Jag motor will work in LS just fine.
All Jag motors are manufactured by Ford till 2010 and called AJ-8 motors.
Ya I saw the motor it is S-type R motor and was purchased as a whole assembly with computer module and transmission. The whole assembly cost him $2500 according to him. I personally checked on ebay motors the whole jag engine with ECU and trans is around 5k. So he got it on a good deal.
well - we have seen many people try the swap - not one has been successful. The dash, PCM, REM, FEM, TC modules all have to be replaced. How did he do that?
Dude, where did you get your supercharger from I have a 02 Ls and looking for supercharger all over the internet I can't find one. I have been told they don't make one for it. Please tell me.
Hey thanks man. I will look in to it and also a shop in Dallas already gave me estimate for Vortech Supercharger. I will compare both of them and go from there.
well - they have not looked into you setup yet. the Gen1 LS uses air-assisted fuel injectors, so you are not likely able to boost it from the intake pipe...
Actually, I gotta sit down with the them to go over all the parts list but they did tell me that the fuel injector gonna have to come out to be modified. Basically for a Vortech there are whole lot of modification involve but If the Supercharger you are talking about it does not need that many mods than it will be cheaper for me to use this supercharger.
you always have to upgrade the injector when you add more air. But the air-assited type require the intake manifold to be modified - that;s the part they didn't understand.
Hey Quik, love your LS. I've been looking into supercharging mine. I've only found one supercharger so far and was wondering what you used? The one I found was Weiand #925-77-174FSBP-1 from Jegs. Also, about how many extra modifications did you have to do to the engine in order for this to work? And on a difficulty level from 1-10, 10 being most, what would you rate the project for an average mechanically inclined person? Thanks!
they are SMG paddles for an M3 - bought them from the local BMW dealership.
I wired them into the sport shifter using two relays. The key is that you have to have the spor shifter - which my car did not - so I swapped that in first.
he said all the parts came from McLaren Engines it was built some what to the 2002 mclaren lsv8 ill find the pics i crashed the car really bad hit a patch of ice in tn and flow down a moutain 50ft or so rolling it it sucked loved that car
wow - our club was very connect to McLaren - they never did get their superchaged LS to work because Ford would not release the PCM coding to them - so they could never tune it.
They ended up selling the car on e-bay a couple years later with the supercharger off and car mostly returned to stock. They did not do any additional engine internal build on it.
im not sure thats all he said i didnt build the car i bought it that way the car was super fast and it was supercharged he just said all parts were from mclaren engines the supercharger didnt look like yours it had a custom made intake manifold and a procharger the guy did all the work i just paid for the car i had pics of it ill email to you maybe you can see something i dont there
i had to redo all the wiring been working on this for 2 years now and the racing parts i did my last engine a guy got me from europe ill ask him how to get them but the engine was bored out and ported and polished he did all the work he is a lincoln machance he lives in nc ill get his number and you can call him he does great work
i have a 2005 lincoln lsv8 im building took stock engine out putting a 550hp gt500kr style engine in just lots of work to get car to handle power but before this i have never had any problems with my ls and i raced it everyday. and drive it to work. engine was supercharged and had nos. but was totally rebuilt with racing parts only problom i had was rearend had hard time taking power will post pics and video soon just got on here
Really? wow - never heard of another LS supercharged (I belong to many. many forums). Where did you find the 'racing parts' that you rebuilt the engine with?
I love to know more about your car!
How are you mating the new engine to the LS electronics?
hey quik.... ur ls would look so much nicer with tinted tail lights.... and if u ever get them tinted plz let me have the ones u have now i cant seem to find those anywhere lol...also ever considered 22 inch rims? haha jk but jus wonderin ever raced a CTS? or an IS350? or a 330i? or a Geo? and whats ur 0-60?
I havnt had any problems with my LS 01' 70,000 miles, my only problem is my airbag light... but what the hell can that do? hell just put a black piece of tape over it and it never happened
dont listern to these fags i live in the uk and i imported my own and the only problem i have was that i forgot to fill it up with water and it over heated
yeah right man all these things are lemons. dont matter what year, 05 all of em. if your a mechanic then go for it otherwise your gonna be straight up broke. i dropped 6 grand on my car in 6 months- a black 02 v8 only 50,000 miles on it. a damn shame for such a pimp car
was funny when u called guy bitter. Hoping to get around 300 hp on stock 2000 lincoln ls v8, any easy suggestions? Looking to spend as little as possible hopefully like 10 dollars.... no but really about $1000 (hopefully) dollars? beautiful car!
WHAT THE HELL????? MY LINCOLN LS V8 CAN DO THAT!!!!???? IM GOING OUTSIDE TO TRY THAT RIGHT NOW!

Smh.. I really think, that new Boss 5.0 V8 will be a good look for the new SHO/MKS tho'.. The TT V6 ain't bad at all tho'.! Picture a TT V6 in the Ford Fusion, eh??? Niccccce!!! ;-)

KiaOn10s 2 years ago
@KiaOn10s it should be electronically limited to 133mph. The SCT XCalibrator tuning device can also remove your speed limiter - but make sure you have tires rated for it - the base model only came with H-rated tires.

@89TTP depending on your model - sport or sport package 2000-2002 did not have a limiter and can usual hit about 147mph top speed. The base model was limited to 133mph. all 2003+ are limited to 133mph.

@89TTP its probably because your stock tires' speed rating was rated at like 120mph so even if you get the limiter off make sure your tires can take the extra speed

nealgrizzle 2 years ago
@nealgrizzle nope - the getrag 221 could not handle the torque of the V8 and therefore was never offerred - it would have been a custom bell housing adaption anyway. The issues is not in trying to fab up something to fit - and add the clutch, ...etc - the real issue is to be able to reverse engineer the PCM code enough to tell it that it's not an automatic.
SCT cannot do it yet - so this is a non-starter until the electronics can be adapted.

89TTP 1 year ago
@89TTP turbos dont lag much when installed on a v8
armymatt83 1 year ago
@armymatt83 it's all in the design, nothing to do with V8 or not. Nowadays, you have many choices in design and can size the turbos:
- one smaller for fast spool-up, one larger for higher flow
- you can get varible-vain technology
- you can etc, etc, etc.
Turbos are a little trickier to install and tune - and since we can make more power than the einge can handle (in stock form) no sense complicating it even more.
QuikLS 1 year ago
@QuikLS true when ur talking about turbos with direct injection and variable vane and depending on size but im just saying as a general rule turbo lag is traditionaly worse with 3 and 4 cyilinder engines than with a 6 and hardly there at all with a v8 or bigger engine. but ill just shut up so i dont confuse anybody

@armymatt83 Agreed. The low end torque of a V8 will keep you from noticing turbo lag and once you get upstairs LOOK OUT...!!!

@armymatt83 a turboed v8 would be great. exuast pushes more aire to the turbo so it will spool up faster.

Dancler10 2 years ago
@Dancler10 certainly no expert - but here is some advice.
for Gen1 LS (2000-2002) there are a couple of aftermrket cat-bat systems - Borla, Magnaflow, McLaren - however - for me they were all too soft. I went with FLowmaster 40s, magnaflow x-pipe and 2.5" piping.
Gen2 LS (2003-2006) there are no afermarket systems - so it's custom.

actually winter tires are a softer compound then summer tires
challengerdodge 2 years ago
at colder temps - yes. but you cannot put 'heat' into them like you can a performance tire, where you get them hot and the compound reacts but softening up and getting super sticky grippy.
So although a winter compound is softer at colder temps, it never really gets to the softness or grip levels of a performance tire.
QuikLS 2 years ago
ahhh thank you, that was my helping answer, i did not know that in D5 it starts out in first! ahh okay, well that helped a bit. but now im have been forced back a step, insane amount of traction, i just had my michellin alipines mounted (high performance winter tires, dont no if you no what they are) i live in edmonton alberta in Cold Canada haha so we get alota snow and with out my winters i spin out a ridiculous amount haha
Anotherprsn00 2 years ago
yep - I am actually from Red Deer, AB - went to school in Edmonton. The winter tires are harder than summer performance tires (I had Goodyear F1 GS-D3 in the video) - so that should help you spin them easier.
QuikLS 2 years ago
i did have the traction control off, and i am aware of the amount of power the V6 makes and the heavy weight (although it moves damb good even with that V6) plusopen diff and most likely only spinning one tire. so when i go ahead and do it i will put in the manual mode and select the lowest gear, 2nd, but the car wont drop to first till i start moving abit, but nomatter where i have the break the tires wont slip. To much traction maybe???
Anotherprsn00 2 years ago
of course - it's too much traction (grip and weight) for the hp/torque you have - like any car. so you either get more power or reduce traction.
The automatic starts in first when in D5 - so do not bother with SST mode.
it actually takes a lot of practice to do it with a stock LS - even the V8. IT all about brake pedal control. So see with most of the other LS burnouts, they either have reduced traction with wet roads, ...etc or were rolling from the start.
QuikLS 2 years ago
i have a 2002 lincoln ls with the V6 and the sport package so it has the steptronic automatic 5 speed, so i can shift it manualy. iv seen other videos of decent burnouts, but i cant even manage to get my tires to slip??? any advice, am i just a total noob haha? and no i have not forgot to turn off my traction control either, my suspension preloads and then nothin or i make a slow roll out, no tire slip even... ???
Anotherprsn00 2 years ago
the v6 is 200hp/215ft-lbs - not much to turn the wheels on a 3800lbs car. The suspension has a anti-dive setup which prevents the rear from lifting under heavy braking - and it also keeps the weight over the rear wheels - hard to burn out.
It is nothing more than a brake stand - a balance of holding enough brake to keep from moving, but not too much to hold the rear wheels.
The LS has an 8" open diff - so you will likely only spin one wheel.
Much sure to have traction control turned off.
QuikLS 2 years ago

hey quik im so done with my custom integra. i always been a big fan of the ls. i wana buy a used one with under 120k miles, but as i read other ppls msg bout their lincoln ls im having second thoughts. i hear they are no good and the ball joints messes up and tranny. what can you tell me about that?? i really do want one. ohh yea and what happends if you put like 89octane instead of 91? do u need to add like one of those octane boosters?? so please let me know. ohh by the way your car kicks ass!
slickygee562 2 years ago
it is 91+ only - compression ratio of 10.55:1 needs the higher octane. (do not fool with octane boosters, you would have to add soo much that the price difference is lost).
The first generation LS has some well known issues that are easy to fix - clockspring, valve cover gaskets, coils, transmission solenoid, window regulators.
most of these are not issues in the Gen2 LS (2003-2006).
THere are good web forums and lost of knowledge out there to help out people.
QuikLS 2 years ago
One drawback is that the LS is a difficult car to modify since there is not a large aftermarket support - so not many options available. The car is highly electronic which adds a lot of complexity.

I ran into a guy in Dallas he have a 4.2L supercharged Jag motor in his LS. He told me it is easy swap or even a 4.0L supercharged V8 Jag motor will work in LS just fine.
All Jag motors are manufactured by Ford till 2010 and called AJ-8 motors.
legendsaleem 2 years ago

the Jag s-type r does not share any of the electronics with the LS - so this is not an easy swap.....

Ya I saw the motor it is S-type R motor and was purchased as a whole assembly with computer module and transmission. The whole assembly cost him $2500 according to him. I personally checked on ebay motors the whole jag engine with ECU and trans is around 5k. So he got it on a good deal.

well - they have not looked into you setup yet. the Gen1 LS uses air-assisted fuel injectors, so you are not likely able to boost it from the intake pipe...
did they tell you how they will tune it?
good luck! it would be a cool project.
QuikLS 2 years ago
Actually, I gotta sit down with the them to go over all the parts list but they did tell me that the fuel injector gonna have to come out to be modified. Basically for a Vortech there are whole lot of modification involve but If the Supercharger you are talking about it does not need that many mods than it will be cheaper for me to use this supercharger.
legendsaleem 2 years ago
you always have to upgrade the injector when you add more air. But the air-assited type require the intake manifold to be modified - that;s the part they didn't understand.
how were they going to tune it?

wow - our club was very connect to McLaren - they never did get their superchaged LS to work because Ford would not release the PCM coding to them - so they could never tune it.
