I know allot of people have highly moded 300's but we never hear much about the 400's being moded without a complete Engine swap or something out rages. Lets get some Pic's and some we sites and maybe even some Numbers about moded 400's I have been looking for a Black/Black or Gray 5spd 300 with less then 85k on it for about 2months now and cant find anything that I want so I am trying to see what kind of 400's we have here.
Thx

The most modded SC400 in existance was featured in import tuner? last november. It was basically modded to such an extent that it was not even a car anymore. It could run the quarter mile in 7.9 seconds and is the fastest imported car in the world. The 242 4.0 liter engine wasn't big enough for the power they needed, they had it removed and replaced with a bored over 4.7 liter Tundra V8, and then turbocharged it and so much more...
I dont consider this to be anything more than a toy in my eyes...you can only do a few mods before you compromise the luxury and ride quality of our cars.

The white autocouture custom convertible SC400 w/that much drooled over hood scoop(mostly by me)
was putting down 500hp w/a roots supercharger from what I can recall.
Some of the cars in Australia should be in the 300 hp plus range w/their superchargers.
And Emerald's is still the sickest interior modded SC4 around.

You guys forget that Em's got the hit in there too. Anth, I normally don't offer up opinions too much, but that hood scoop on the AC is the most buttugly thing i've ever seen on an SC, my '67 Mustang had the same scoop, it just screams Cobra Jet. TM will be at the top of the SC4 heap soon enough, and still holds the e.t. record for the 4.0 in a street setup as far as I know.

Yeah...I don't exactly want the scoope that Autocouture made, but I'd love to get a hold of Chip Foose and work w/him on something totally original.
Just still waiting for my lotto numbers to hit so I can do this...=)

i remember seeing a SC400 with dual super chargers..
a stock sc400 that pushes 200shot of nos will do 12sec flat..

Sorry but I have to disagree, i think that "Lextasee" was the worst thing to ever be on an SC... that was just horrible, i wonder if he ever sold it on ebay? - Richard

200shots of nitrous...very doable. Id never run 200...but then again I never go to the track either Originally posted by NRG

SCLEX, you mean the brandywine SC with the Landau? He lives around here, comes into the shop sometimes, not my favourite SC either. Em, they were Sprintex bike blowers, a pair right on top of a custom intake manifold.
