So I, Like most people on this forum would always like more power : , I would love to fully Rebuild on beast of a motor but I don't have the money for that...
These are relating to a 99' Explorer 5.0L 4r70w w/AWD, but will be true 4x4 before ethier setup...
(Setup 1)
So I looked into ethier boosting via turbo or S/C
Looked at STS but with offroading ruled that out...
Looked at mulitple setups with Superchargers and I figured that If I do end up boosting it I would prolly go with a Ford Racing Centrifugal supercharger @6psi, just because it is a decent price and it is a kit built just for the 5.0L Explorers.
Kit off of SummitRacing.com start at about 2k
OR...
(Setup 2)
Should I Look into adding a few more bolt-ons and internals such as cam and new rollers. If I went this route (as of now) I would prolly just use an e303 cam, 1.6 or 1.7 rollers with new valve covers, 1" intake spacer, TM headers, and pick up a Xcal 2
Full setup from SummitRacing.com for cam, rollers, intake spacer, and all the gear to go with that comes to about 1k + TMH and Xcal2 with custom tunes = about 2k also
but all of this stuff (from second setup) can usually be found off of Ebay or EF for a cheaper amount...
So these are ideas of mine right now, not full out plans...
What kind of numbers (Hp and Torque) can I be looking at for both setups?
Any out-weighing benifits that you guys can think of going with one setup over the other?
Any Other mods that I should add in to help out ethier setup (Ex: Bigger fuel pump, injectors, shift kit, Etc...)
I would be able to install the Supercharger as a kit, but I have never been "inside" a motor that deep so I would be looking for some guidiance on the second setup for sure...
