Unload what you don't need in there.   I share your opinion of needing more horsepower, but installing an 07 Mustang 4.6 in a 10 year old car is not in the cards.
#3 of 7 More Horsepower - Change Camshafts by nwraaa Jun 27, 2007 (6:50 pm)
You can replace the standard camshafts in the engine with camshafts that will increase the horsepower of the engine. These camshafts don't require any other modifications to the car. Go to Google, type in camshafts, click on search and a number of camshaft manufactures will appear. Follow the instructions for selecting the cams for your car. If you have any questions about the camshafts call the manufacturer. Replies to this message: euphonium (Jun 28, 2007 8:42 am)

After speaking with Crower, we were advised the problem was the on board computer would not allow their cam to do it's grind.   Crower said we should have contacted them first, but they believe their cam was better than the original.   This all involved an 82 Town Car with the 302 in 1989.

Replying to: jimmcaw (Jun 24, 2007 4:01 pm) First let me say I have owned 11 Lincolns with 2 of them 1997's. I also sold Lincolns for 6 years. Here is the scoop; The Executive and base Signature came with 190 HP. There was a special Siggie called the "Touring Edition". It was about a $5000 option and if you got the TE then you could get the High Chrome Wheels (very cool)fot $350. The Touring Edition also came with the JBL Stereo and a 10 CD magazine in the trunk.   The "Touring Edition and the Cartier both had 220 HP. That was possible because of the "dual exhaust" and nothing else. It also came with 16" wheels vice 15". Also came with a Handling Package (nicer suspension and Traction Control. I'm afraid that from 1990 through 1997 the Lincoln never was blessed with more than the 220 hp. A chip was available off-market that produced another 30 HP but I never fooled with it.   I have owned a 1968 Continental (suicide doors), 1 1975 MK-IV Lipstick Edition, a 1979 Continental, a 1984 Cartier, a 1986 Town, 2 1987 Towns, 2 1997 Siggies, a 2005 Siggie and presently a 2005 Siggie Limited ( just got my wheel lips today and will install them tomorrow.   Hope this answered your questions.
