Re: Good thing I posted
lol, I think people are going to confuse you with myslef.....saleenxp8/saleenexp. I know I already did, I saw your post last night and thought I posted it, I was like I have a Saleen XP8
and then I realized it was SaleenXP8 and not SaleenEXP
.
Welcome to the site, you have the ultimate suv to build upon for the street, Troll's mods (his Explorer should be running 10's now) in an XP8 would be the ultimate truck with that kind of power backing up the Saleens aggressive looks and suspension and very comfy recaro seats.

Thanks for setting me straight. I'm sure you just saved me a lot of headaches. It's really too bad stupidity isn't painful. The "experts" at these auto parts places would be a little more careful about opening their mouths if it were.
You can bolt on the KenneBell with some modifications the accessory drive shaft is the main problem and why Stang chargers won't directly bolt up (The Stangs shaft is a little longer)), and the hp and especially the tq increase would be insane with a twin-screw, talk to
tmosko on this site as he's the only person I'm aware of who has a Kennebell on his 5.0, I think it was a 97' Explorer 5.0 that he swapped into his Ranger. Talk to him and he can give you all the info you need on swapping on a KennBell on an Explorer 5.0 V8. I can't remember his email so do a search for him and you'll be able to email/pm him.
KenneBell all the way, their chargers are amazing. I've ridden in a KennBell equiped Lightning and the tq was absolutley sick on that truck, a friend is also planning on a KB twin-screw to swap onto his 03' Cobra.
Have you heard of NitrousPete on the Stang boards (Stangnet and Corral)? He has a KenneBell equiped 03' Cobra with a Lentech auto tranny and I think a 50 shot of nitrous and he just ran a 9.99 at 139-140mph. His car is completley street legal with interior and full tank
I have a video of his 9.99 run, absolutley sick, I'll post it later on, his Cobra launches like a rocket off the line, the sound of the 03' Cobra engine and KB blower whine is pure music to my ears lol. He literally smoked and walked the older BMW he ran against like it was standing still, musta been braket racing.
