What unit would you go with?

Go with the Saleen. I have been looking for a used kit for months now, after passing on 3-4 of them at Christmas time (when I bought my STA), figuring they were constandlt for sale. Now, i can't find one!

Also, you have a 6R80 trans, the later ST V8s went to the 6r80 vs the 6r60.

Would this work on a 2010 explorer 4.6l what would I have to modify?

 

[tmsoko]

Will bolt right onto the engine. The stuff outside the engine is where it would start to get custom. Heat exchanger, intercooler pump, hoses, intake, etc.. Easy stuff though. The key is the headunit and intercooler manifold.

Ok thank you my mom has one and in a year she is giving it back to the dealership but it's really starting to grow on me. I drive a Roush mustang and I love the 4.6l s/c glad to hear it's a possibility.
