Hello,

I just bought a 2004 Lincoln LS V8 sport.

What performance upgrades are best for my money. I just want a little performance.

Thanks guys
 
sct, cai, exhaust, n2o, big brake kit/performance brake kit. search those terms to learn more.

oh yeah, and check the advertisement banner to the right.
 
Thanks

Looks like you like your lincolns? Like said before I am very impressed with this car! My friends have BMW's and Audi's and I like this car more!
 
I guess. It's all 2.5", so I'm sure the top end is much better, but I don't really beat on the car all the much. I haven't even had this car to a drag strip yet, which is surprising for me. lol I did it mainly because I wanted to HEAR the car when it was on. Something a little mellow and not too loud and it does just that.
 
Cool

Yeah I don't want my car to sound like a beast! I just want to hear the power a little more!

What exhaust do you recommend? I saw Borla but they have expensive stuff!

Skip the exhaust; it's a big gain on 1st Gen ('00-'02) LSes, but it's a minimal gain on 2nd Gen ('03-'06) LSes--we have really good, free-flowing factory exhausts. Go for the SCT XCal2 (Torrie at FastPartsNetwork is da man for that) and the CAI.

+1


You can pick up about 14 HP from Torrie doing tunes with a SCT Xcal2 for about $400 and about 15 HP with intake change from Iskoncepts.

Both vendors have great customer service.

I agree. The 2nd-gen LS has a true dual exhaust with 4-2-1 headers and 2" pipes (or is it 2 1/4"?) which is a lot better than most cars in it's class. There is some room for improvement, but spend your time and money elsewhere first, unless you really want a specific sound.

As for the XCal2, I have also been told to contact Torrie at FastPartsNetwork. I did, but unfortunately, he didn't respond. I guess he wasn't interested in making a sale. Too bad.

Torrie is pretty fast at responding, so that is surprising to me. If you corresponded with him by email, it's possible your email got caught by a Spam filter. This happened to me when I was trying to contact Bill Jenkins at Team Ford.

Torrie's email address changed. Quick posted his new one, but I cant remember what it was. Torrie tuned my car--it was the best money I ever spent on a performance upgrade.
