Hey guys, I have a '01 Explorer Sport with a 5.0 out of a 2001 Explorer that I swapped in over this summer. I really wanted to put a cam/springs/pushrods in it when I rebuilt the engine but I needed it back on the road to pull my trailer around so ended up going the stock route. Now it is going to sit until snow falls and I thought this would be the "perfect" time to swap in a cam.
From what I have gathered I see a couple people on the forum were running the XE264HR Comp cam without a tune. Has anybody had any personal experience with this? I tried reaching out to a few members who have done this and haven't gotten any responses since the threads were super old. I know you should tune it to get its true potential, but at the end of the day its an old Explorer and I could really care less about how fast this death trap goes lol. As long as it idles, runs fine, and sounds great, I am ok with not getting a tune.
Thanks a lot
