Now that you mention it I have never seen another thread on this site about modding the 5.0L V8. Way to be a pioneer!

I have a '99 EB too. Good choice.

Type "Torque Monster" into one or both of the site's search engines to start you on your way to 5.0 modding. Of course, this mod isn't the cheapest for the 5.0, but it is great bang for your buck.

Then search around and see all the other cool stuff you can do to a 5.0. The site has been in existence almost as long as the 5.0 has been available in Explorers. Lots of good stuff in the archives.
