I got beat by a lincoln!!!

[Kyles93Z34]

I raced a Lincoln tonight. I am not sure exactly what model but it was a 94 with a 4.6DOHC V8. From a stop to around 70 he had me by a carlength and a 1/2. I have been told that one of my valves is acting funny. Would that cause a loss in performance? I kept up with him untill around 45 then he started to pull away. I really need to get a job so i can purchase bens chip and get some more power out of this motor so i can beat this guy. This is the first street race i have ever lost. And BTW, it was on a very old and hardly used road with lookouts at both ends.

Aren't lincolns pretty heavy? I assume the DOHC V8 makes decent power though.

1994 Lincoln Mark VIII. 4.6 DOHC, 280 HP, 1/4 mile in 14.7. Curb weight, 3768. You didn't do too bad. Same engine installed in the SVT Cobra, only supercharged.

The 4.6 was actually made for the lincoln, not the mustang. And there are TONS of aftermarket parts for these things.
