What kind of times does that setup produce for you DARK 5.0? If you dont mind letting everyone know, if not please email me so Ill know what to expect. Thanks for your response. Any idea what year explorer intake i need? BIG RED, I may change the gear ratio soon after but its been my experience that they only help just off the line. I know it sounds crazy but after i put 373s on my 73 F100 W/ a 390 my 1/8 mile times went down some. I mean if you go through the 1/4 mile traps in 4th gear w/ 373s and Im just shifting into 3rd then my tranny gears kinda make up that difference. Dont want to give up traction and mpg for only a feeling of going quicker. But hey, thats just my theory and Im sure someone could get me to see it differently. Thanks for your response. I appreciate any and all help.
