heh, nothing. EE still hasnt come out with their supercharger for the SOHC, like they claimed they would at the end of the summer, but i think that was the only thing to anticipate any time soon.
 






why didn't ford ever make a DOHC V-6 for the explorer?
that would kick ass (an efficient and very powerful DOHC V-6)
 






dunno. not cost effecient? too much power? i wish they would have had something with some more ooomph. i have the SOHC which is a lot better than the OHV, but its still under powered for the truck, i think.
 






I've talked to a EE tech last week and he told me before next summer they'll have the supercharger, headers, MAS, TB for the SOHC. The supercharger should come out in next 3 months. For now if u want a MAS u can try vanirtech, kinda expensive but i've heard good things about em.

you have sport correct tbomb, see my thing is that the 4 door SOHC is faster then the 4 door V8. so since the 4d is like o-60 in 8.2, the sport's in the high 7 second range like 7.8 or 7.9. but, to me, i thinks that is pretty da** fast.
 






there is a guy with a blower on a SOHC just check out the rangerforum and he is in there he did it him self and he has a complete 30 page instuction setup to do it your self like he did.
 






tarheel085, yeah, i have the sport. i have no idea what my truck is supossed to run in 0-60 or the 1/4, but the truck just feels under powered, even with the KKM and Superchip. maybe its just me, but i think these trucks should have something more from the factory. i used to have a 91 sport OHV, and it was ridiculously underpowered.

blk mk8, i saw someone else post a thread about that guy. supossedly its a lot of custom work. i would love to get a supercharger for my truck, but i dont wanna do all that custom work, and i know the EE one (whenever it comes out) is gonna be a crazy ripoff; not to mention, im still just a poor college student until may :)
 






well he did it all him self and had a complete list of parts and instructions on how to do it i am pretty shure you could do it for under a grand.
