VERY NICE!!!

Those numbers are not too far from my Stock Marauder + Vortech S-Trim @ 10psi!!!

We still have some room on timing. Need more fuel. The 2v and the 4v have the same crank and rods (unless it is and actual cobra engine) how much power and punishment can your 4v dohcs take before the crank comes out the bottom?

The cranks are good. None have broken that I know of. The rods will usually window the block somewhere between 450 and 500.

Another factor, my 4v dyno top end was 6500 RPM on the stock motor.

where did you dyno the car?

Great numbers! The car should be a beast

Enhancedstreetperformance.com . They are in Sterling Massachusetts.
We can't rev it higher until get more fuel. I forgot to change the fuel filter. We have 39# injectors and a cobra pump. The AFR pushed over 12.0 when calling for 60# of pressure. The pressure in the rails dropped to 32psi at one point. We are researching this and will let you know what we find.

Thank you, they're about 2 minutes from my house...i'll have to find out about getting some dyno #'s for my truck

If you are using a single Cobra pump (its purple) that is the problem.
Use a GT Supercar pump, about $95 from Ford.

A 10ga wire from the battery to the trunk, then to a relay,(use the inertia switch out wire for the trigger) then to the FPDM will also help the Fuel pressure.
Good luck.

Zack can you elaborate on this wiring setup. whatsa FDPM, where's the inertia switch?

Thanks

I think it's called a Fuel Distribution Module. The inertia switch is in the trunk, up against the DS quarter panel.

+ 1 on what Zack said. The GT pump will give you plenty at those power levels. BTW, great numbers!

First get the 10 or 8ga wire from the battery to the trunk. Terminate the wire around the inertia switch.
Get a 30a relay and mount it nearby.
The inertia switch is the red button in the black housing that trips in an accident, cutting power to the FPDM (Fuel Pump Driver Module)

There is a wire going in to the inertia switch, and a wire going out to the FPDM (a black box about 4"x4".)

You need to cut the wire from the inertia switch to the FPDM.
This cut wire (still attached to the inertia switch) is now the trigger wire for the relay.
The other wire (connected to the FPDM) is now connected to the power out on the relay.
Your 8 or 10ga wire is obviously the power in to the relay. (make sure you fuse this!)
The last wire you need for the relay is the ground.

Here is what the inertia switch looks like:

And the FPDM:

You will find both behind the carpeting on the drivers side of the trunk.
Good luck.

FPDM = Fuel Pump Driver Module

If you go higher on power, get 60 lb injectors and add a KB BAP (Kenne Bell Boost-A-Pump)

This wiring diagram attachment from the 2003 Grand Marquis factory EVTM should help

He was told that today, I feel a BAP will not be needed. I gave them all the part# for the wiring upgrade
