SHO vs Mark 8??

I use to own an 89 Sho, and It was a pretty fast car. Don't know if it would beat the mark. But one thing I did find out about the SHO, that with one little mod and about $400.00 Later you were beating any lightly modded and even some heavy modded Marks. I didn't find this out until after I got rid of mine but I did see the proof in 2 SHo's. The one mod upped the horsepower in the SHo to about 300hp. Not sure about the torque but those cars were moving.

What little mod for $400? Nitrous?
 
swap the intake manifold and a little adjustment of the timing and you were good to go.

is the mod moving to fairy land? i have been around SHOs for awhile, no 1 NA mod is going to give you 80 HP.
 
taylor you need to do more homework. do you know the potentiol of those yamaha motors? Or even the revs they are capable of? Do you know how much power you get from adjusting the tming by itself, I don't consider the timing a mod since you are not actually installing anything just making an adjustment. On the 5.0 motors in the fox body stangs you can get about 20 hp from the timing alone.
 
post proof.

i do know what those motors can do, i have seen 500+ hp out of a stock internal car. but you are NOT going to gain 80 NA, especially with $400, its just not going to happen. please explain how you "adjust" the timing on a car where there is nothing adjustable on the car.
 
obviously you need more time under the hood. You can speed up or retard the timing. And you must adjust the timing in order to do that
 
:bsflag: i change the timing in my mark too.....just twist the distributor.....oh wait....

Changing timing on the Mark is easy.

Just press the buttons on the message center! :p


Oh wait... :D
 
Of course you know that the same motor going into the 2010 SHO is going into the Lincolns. Stock at 376 HP?Flip Chip to 470?
 
Stickers are worth 15hp..so speeding up the timing should be good for 80.
 
You can manually adjust the timing on these motors... it's called a timing adjuster. You can get one from Steeda or UPR.
 
I wouldn't advise it, I obviously have my timing adjusted with the Sniper but the timing adjuster does work. My boy had it on his 97 Cobra, made a difference at the track...
 
The problem is that you can't really change the timing things you NEED to change to make a big difference... that Steeda part can't fix things like tip in timing retard....
