Thanks Don, You given me some really good food for thought. My concern was that higher compression even with a operational EGR system would equal higher HC levels. I had thought that the added cubes wouldn't be an issue as long as the a/f ratio stayed under the thresholds. I live in n/w...

Greeting everyone: I have had my 99 expo powered 2wd ranger on the road for over a year. Love it! I have the desire to freshen up a new bullit this spring to replace the 200K engine. I am leaning to put together a 8.5 or 9-1 306 for it with forged pistons. I have sourced a set of FMS explorer...

HI Turdle, I thought that I was told that starting with the 2000 model year they downsized the injector size to #17 lbs, and #13 for California emissions? I'm not that well versed on this information. It just seems that it will lay down a little bit if I stab the throttle wide open once the...

Hello everyone, Have had my 1999 ranger sport, w/ 2000 Explorer 5.0 on the road for about 3-4 months now. No major issues other than EGR control module. But starting to look for a couple performance upgrades. I picked up a NOS set of Ford motorsport explorer headers recently, that are going...

Yea for sure on the too lean. I have a nice mandrel bent 2 1/4 primary pipes with high flow cats that feed through a flowmaster merge into a 3" single walker dynomax muffler.(scrubber cats are long gone). It seems that it need to be a little fatter. The cold start is a little balky until it...

Hello,Smoke Not sure about how much of the harness will have to be changed, but you may have issues with the vehicle speed sensor. If I remember correctly the 96 uses a generator in the back of the trans transfer case.The 99 should be in the rear diff, and tied in to the ABS system. Also I...

Thanks Guys, What SCT tuning device would be the best? With all the different SCT tuners, I don`t know which one would would be the best choice for my application. I have heard that Lasota has great service, I friend of mine has a 11 5.0 Mustang GT. He got his tune from them via his...

RE tuners Thanks for all your help. Yes I am planning to modify this in stages. The first I want to get past is the Emission Police. A friend of mine had told me that the ECM on the test vehicle must match the vehicles VIN# for the clean air test to be valid???? I personally don`t...
