Paging Michael Johnson

Do you have any links to dyno curves for the modded Cobra/Lightning engines?
Looking for HP and torque and general "under the curve" specs. Nothing too
outrageous, just the guy's that change injectors and do easy mods.

Which engines? The OHC ones, push rod and/or supercharged?

Sorry, the newere Cobra DOHC supercharged. You told me they were getting
great numbers and living.

The most popular and easiest high hp mod for the blown Cobras and
Lightnings are the Kenne Bell twin screw blower kits. Here are some
links and the numbers they show on the graphs are good and realistic:

You should see what they are getting from the turbocharged 4.6L Cobra
engines without even taking off the valve covers. The blown 4.6L
engines are one of the strongest V-8s EVER to come from Detroit, IMO.

If this doesn't do it for you nothing will. It is a turbo kit that
mounts in front of the stock Eaton blower on a stock Terminator engine.
Here is an excerpt from the article:

"The kit featured here is universal and can be used with a supercharger
or without it-the difference will be in the turbocharger sizing to fit
different applications. The piping and turbo mounting is universal in
all systems and mod-motor applications. For those brave enough and in
need of the excess, check out the turbo/ supercharger system. It will
not disappoint your appetite for ridiculous power levels. We watched
this setup throw out a certifiably insane 1,188 rwhp and an even more
impressive 1,015 rwtq-through a stock engine including the factory
cast-iron exhaust manifolds."

If 1,188 RWHP and 1,015 rwtq isn't enough to prove the point then
NOTHING will. Here's a link to the full article: http://tinyurl.com/6o28aq

gosh, I drive around town an typically use less than 150 HP, take off
sometimes using 320 HP, but 1,200 HP is totally undrivable except on a
stright track.
Think of it in terms of the gas petal travel, 1/4 the way in is 300HP, and
the back wheels would be spinning out.

They talk about the problems they had keeping the wheels from spinning
on the dyno drum. Driving that car on public streets isn't for the
faint of heart or anyone with restless leg syndrome. The fact that a
stock Terminator engine can do several dyno pulls making well over 1,000
rwhp shows just how strong that engine was built and how much
performance potential Ford left untapped with it. We may never see
another one like it in our lifetimes.

Looks like quite a fun ride, but I have to wonder how durable it really
is. I'd like to see that car in 6 months or so...

I'm impressed a stock engine can make several dyno runs at that power
level and survive at all. I'm sure something will eventually break on
it but that setup is a testament to the strength of that engine. It is
built like a brick **** house.
