Ill second that



My advise is also not to race a 5.0 Mustang, with an SUV.



Im going to try it in a few weeks with my forged 331 supercharged 5.0 AWD Exploder :D, Im sure the box will run 13s for sure in the 1/4 at only 6PSI

I'd put another "roll bar" up behind the windshield. Thats where most of the crumple will be on a roll. There have been a few rolled Explorers on the forum (both on and off-road, JoshC's off road, and BBQ_HotDogs' rolled in an accident), and I think they always crumple right behind the windshield (the "A" pillar).

Note where the roof collapses:

And since the word "cage" has been mentioned, I guess its time to say "more triangulation" :frospecta

Haha, you got me. Didn't even think about a stroked 5.0 when I wrote that, I was enjoying this thread about...:dunno: What I should have said is don't race a 5.0 Mustang with a V6 SUV.

It sounds like you got one hell of a setup there, is it the stock 5r70w and transfer case? Great Job with the interior.
 












I know thats what everyone was saying even the guy that welded it up, but he wasnt as skeptical with it welded to the B-Pillars. I know its not good as having bars come forward to the a-pillar and down, but mainly to hold some sort of structure around the headrest area at lowerspeeds. I'll look into it again :roll:

I was thinking if theres support at the rad support(fairly strong) and the B-pillars and draw a line from the two, everything on the outside you usually wouldnt have any main part of yourself outside that

Yea the 4r70W, and stock AWD transfer case, engine is on the stand, thats why i said a few weeks :D
 






kind of like this

And I can put nitrous on my 3.8 and smack a modded 5.0 Stang. I have only $1,800 total in it now...








Are we talking about my Explorer or my T-Bird? I'm talking about my T-Bird. My X is about the slowest thing I've ever owned, lol. Can a 6th gen Camry be bought for $1,800?



.

You needed to clarify that up front...it read that you were talking about your Explorer and you never did mention how much you had in your vehicle.....

Folks, you will avoid a LOT of heartache and smackdowns if you pay attention to what you write and say what you mean......Clarity is your friend....
 






Jeez you guys, actually READ the replys before you go about smack talking someone! I specifically typed out that I am a 17 year old kid who was only GUESSING at the horsepower numbers, we have NO IDEA how many we would be able to pull off!! 600 was an ESTIMATE, you know an imaginary number someone HOPES to achieve... As in, I was simply HOPING for a 600 Horsepower boost, I KNOW that isnt what I actually would be able to get without spending money. Right now, im simply looking into a 4.0 Super, and a KKM intake, and Flowmaster exhaust. Everything else are WEEKEND mods I am hoping to get something from. And before you go about actually insulting someone elses IDEAS, read into what they are trying to do, and dont be like ha ha, your screwed, your idea aint gonna go, shut up and get off of the fourm, your a dumb ***. Actually try to give idea and atlest explain why its not posible. I thought this forum was to help people with they ideas. Not to make them feel stupid.

With that being said...again

I submitted this thread also to www.lamestthreadever.com and it will definitely have a chance at a top 3 finish.

Good luck. :cool:
 






I find threads like this as pure entertainment because you might as well be saying that you want to build a 4 seater airplane with $500 said:
Unless of course you are "Macgyver" then i truely beleive he could make this plane you speak of.




Hehehehehehe. That is actually who I had in mind when typing my example. Mac can do ANYTHING!!! God I loved that show!

No one will likely bother trying to tell you WHY it cannot be done because it is not worth it. IIRC you have had some other pretty rediculous threads in the past in here. It is becoming a pattern that people will not waste their time on. Your thread would be like me walking into NASA and telling them that I intend to build a manned space vehicle to go to another galaxy and I might need a little tech advice from them. I would be laughed out of there of course without any explanation of "why" it obviously cannot be done nearly as easily as I thought. They would know that I obviously do not have NEEEEEEAR enough knnowledge or ability to do it. They would also know that it would cost MUUUUCH more than I would even realize. They would also know that even if I did have some other Joe Schmo that "knows metal work" that it still only helps out marginally. You insult the sport and it serious members like me when stating such a high goals and thinking it is within reach like picking an apple from a low limb on a tree. I understand that you are a kid so I cannot hold much against you. You got to get it into your head that you NEED to get a clue before setting goals. You got to understand the goal before you set that goal.

You asked a question and you got the answer. Don't whine to us if it is not the answer you are looking for. I told you before in your other retarded thread that I reccomend that you take a seat and relax while actually learning about this stuff for about 4-5 years. Keep saving your money during that 4-5 years too and THEN and only then you MIGHT be at the point to be able to do something like you said you want to do. If you choose not to follow VERY sound advice based upon personal experience then that is your loss. I know I am not the only one that gets irritated at these types of threads where the person doesn't know a thing about what they are talking about but they still set goals waaaay out of even most skilled persons reach. It just gets old.

State a reasonable goal and you will get reasonable answers. State rediculous goals and the answers will follow suit.
 






If you were truly seeking knowledge perhaps a more realistic question would have been " what kind of HP can I expect from a 4.0 ? "

Yeah I know I know, hind site IS 20/20

To get to the point mid to upper 200's ( RWHP ) is quite possible with out having to rob First National Bank. Getting out of the 300's IS possible, but then we are talking ski mask and hand gun.
 






I think they always crumple right behind the windshield (the "A" pillar).


That is actually by design believe it or not. The upper section of the A pillars are designed to have SOME give. The center or B pillar is desinged to have zero give in a roll over and minimal in a side impact.
Bottom line is protect the seat area and let every thing else absorb energy.

When you start off rambling about your buddy and his shop, and then say
and in the end he told me he could achieve about 600 Horses off of my engine.
you don't come across as "blind guessing"....it comes across as a young kid who knows absolutely nothing about what he's talking about blowing smoke out his ass...and you're gonna get hammered for it. The BS alarm was going off full tilt as soon as you hit the submit button.

Advice...sit down, shut up, buckle your seatbelt, listen and learn. Don't try and bs us or pretend you know more than you do...many people on here have been heavily involved in working on all sorts of vehicles longer than you've been alive, and can smell bs a mile away. You're young with a lot to learn (for that matter, I'm old with a lot to learn. Everyone is still learning, just at different levels). You'll learn far more by reading up on what other people are doing instead of blowing off steam about outrageous claims that just aren't gonna happen. If you want to mod your truck for more horsepower, don't post up wild rants, try using that wonderful little button on the page called "search". You'll find more stuff to do than you have time or money for.

Chalk this thread up as a life lesson...One down..millions to go :D.
 






Aaannndd I think this thread has run it's useful life....If there is a valid reason to open it back up, PM me.
