so if a tune is thrown into the mix it's only a matter of time before your tranny starts juggling gears.
on that note you are correct, a CAI by itself will net you absolutely nothing... there is no aftermaket out there for the continental aside from cracking the block open and spending big money on something that will only net you around 50BHP at the most... and when all is said and done you get a 16 second FWD car doing 15's... whoopdee!!
if you are looking to be a little bit quicker, find a different platform... no offense but I really don't see someone looking to mod a 1998 continental having deep enough pockets to do what is required to make the car "quick"

even in stock form the AXOD in the continental starts slipping something fierce... I think they made them out of glass

about the transmision, could always have a aftermarket tranny company rebuild it to withstand the power

not gonna happen
the car is not a mid 15 second car... my 2001 conti only pulled a 15.7 and that is with more power than your version had
with the money you will spend to get your rowboat to "hang" with a V8 mustang or a camaro you might as well buy a new car that can hang right out of the box... again, someone with a stock 1998 continental asking about mods doesn't have that kind of cash
if you want to talk about what a car can or can't do at the strip there is a cardinal rule here... run the times yourself, hold proof with it.... then talk as you like
untill then, the only "quick" lincolns out of the box thus far are the mark VIII's and the 03+ lincoln LS's... because anything that isn't at least 14 seconds isn't quick where I'm from

watch out for big man quoting edmunds and comparing his car to youtube videos, get out and actually run your car at the track, what's next a speedo E-race?
the markVIII pulled mid-high 14's fairly easily just like the 03+ LS.... fact of the matter is your continental is not moddable (at least in being cost effective to be a drivers race with a stock mustang or camaro) and you are stuck with a high 15 second car
we have been through this before, so I know that you don't know your head from a cylinder head... are you really going to turn this into a magazine clustermess like last time or are you actually going to save yourself the trouble and take my advice this time?
buy another car for speed.
