Posi

solid order.... I put my tune above any of my other mods.... but with the LS the tune does the tranny too so its even more important and better a mod. Then I would still say converter then gears. atleast for the LS, auto stangs and Fbodies...... i guess i should have played more iwth the mark than i did.

Same with the Mark 8's..
Once you weed thru the tune and take "all the lincoln" out of it..it's a different car all together.

IMHO more gains are to be had in the transmission functions and the fuel tables than there is just "chunking spark" at the car.

first I think converter > gears if for no other reason than it doesnt matter how you make the power, a stall is definitely going to help.

whats the first iyo?

I did a tune, converter then gears/trac lok. There are gains with the converter with stock gears but traction becomes more of an issue trying to launch hard without an LSD. It's a lot easier to lauch hard with the LSD.

Also more gear will tame a looser converter. I went with a 3500 stall after talking to a few people about what would work best for the car. Drivability suffered quite bit with the stock 3.08 gears. With the 4.10s it wasn't very noticable in normal driving.

I would agree about the tune. The shifts as slow and soft. After driving the LS for a while a would have to say it's much worse then the stock 4R70W in the Mark VIII and the electronic throttle is killing me.
