LS horsepower Lincoln LS

Im shopping for a new toy after have a 96 mark 8 I was told the LS;s were too slow.

I just found a 06 LS with 280.

Who's got the info on when the LS's went to the 280 horse, and what gears do they have in the rears?

Also is there alot of upgrades available for them?

I wouldn't say alot..but things can be done...and now LLSC has a supercharger for the LS's for the Gen 1s which are the 2000-2002 models and the 2003-2005 are the Gen 2 models...if that helps....

You mean 03 - 06

LS is more for show than speed you'll be lucky to see 390hp with boost

I see no point in having a LOT of HP when there's nowhere to use it...at least around here....the nearest public race track is about 80miles away :P and i don't know if it's even still open

Haha, I've got Road America right less than 30 minutes away!

I have always thought about starting a drag strip and maybe a small race track.

It would probably be pretty expensive though.

What does it usually cost to get on a track or drag strip?

Do those places do dyno testing to?

Well I find places to use it.

Now back to the topic, does anybody know the gear ratio's and what rear is actually in the car?

3.58 ratio 8" rear end, not 8.8".

You can not find a upgrade for the 2nd GEN 03-06 LS rear end unless you swap out the entire pumpkin and get a custom made driveshaft for the car. Other option is if you have a 2nd GEN like I had, you can put a 1st GEN pumpkin in with 3.58 gears which came on early production 00 LS's and 02 T-Birds.

Then you can use a 8.8" LSD diff with the 8" ring gear and swap out to 1st GEN axles as well and leave the driveshaft alone. With the 8" pumpkin 3.58 is the highest gear ratio you will get in there unless you have TONS of cash to get a custom ring and pinion made.

But its still a grandpa car and it still has four doors.

You want speed, by a mustang or a ctsv kinda a mis match but had to through it out there.
