Default newbie lookin for tips

hey im new here but i dont quite own a mustang...instead i have a 1992 lincoln town car 4.6l v8 281 cid which is basically what the 94 or maybe 96 and up mustangs have and the only difference i have found so far is the intake manifold but other than pretty much alike.......heres the deal though im looking to make is somewhat of a race car and have already done a cai and put a tornado thing in the intake and put a $40 chip in the iac and am thinking bout getting an exhaust pretty soon but i was wondering if anyone has any tips about how to upgrade this (keeping the stock engine) and to make it faster (i am mainly interest in street drag with whoever is running round town and wants to race) or just let me know ur thought about what i am doing...i would greatly appreciate any help

Welcome, that's a pretty big chunk of iron to make into a racer.

My first suggestion would be to peruse the junkyards for 32V Intertech V8. That'll bolt right in there and give you instant speed.

My first suggestion would be to take that p.o.s. Tornado out of your car before it shreds and blows up your motor.....they dont give you any performance or fuel mileage increase......

First of all welcome... And yea... That tornado bullsh@t will f*ck up your engine and has been showin to actually decrease gas mileage and minor hp loss, but anything that decrease hp and g/m sucks big donkey ***! Other than that i would jus suggest strip that big boy up... Take off as much unnecessary weight off as possible
