Hi there,
My names Bill. I'm an active ranger enthusiast and have some questions that have led me here! I am in the process of a 5.0 swap. Essentially I am using the entire drivetrain of a 1999 Ford Explorer XLT AWD.
My goal is to achieve 300 Horsepower @ Crank (or to the wheels if deemed necessary) Currently set aside are a set of Torque Monster Headers, a MAC CAI, and an SCT tuner for custom tuning. My V8 ranger, while more powerful than any stock ranger, won't be a gas guzzler compared to both a stock explorer or ranger.
Lately during my endeavors I have come across a couple cams that have peaked my interest in my effort towards 300. One being the XE258. But before we talk about who's cam is better and why, I'd like to know if the explorer ecu is capable of compensating for a mild cam or if tuning is required. Tuning will happen either way, I just don't want the cam to damage anything before it happens. Thanks in advance guys
