Fuel mileage is not a concern I am setting this up to race. I know the idle qualitiy will be poor but I like a nasty rough idle. Nothing like smelling e85 burning at the race track. Anyway here are some more pictures.

I am using almost the same set up so hopefully my hp numbers will be the same or better. Parts list. PC 3830 heads X303 cam Parker Funnelwebb intake set up for fuel injec...

M90 Supercharger
I have got two square port m90 superchargers I can sell. I also have most if not all the stock tubing that connects the sc to the intercooler. Both sc are used but in good condition. I will take $140.00 each for the sc. If you want the intercooler and tubing we can work out a package deal. Everythin...

Re: Explorer rear or double sump
The reason I ask is because I am looking at windage trays and I didn't know how the newer 5.0 are set up.
Thanks

Is the Explorer engine a rear sump or a double sump set up?

At the dragstrip
At the dragstrip today racing. Running my Expedition. I wish I had my Ranger or Thirst together. So far my best pass is a 10.958 at 63 mph. Anyone in the Mt. Vernon, Ohio area common over to Pacemakers dragway and join in the fun.

Re: 98 explorer ecu with big cam
grumpy, thanks for the heads up but I always check piston to valve clearance when I assemble an engine. You are right, one mistake and it is all over but the crying.

Re: 98 explorer ecu with big cam
cgrey8, I haven't decided on a cam yet. It will be the f303 or the x303. The reason I brought this subject up was because I had read where people with a cam that had more than 112 lsa where having trouble getting them to idle. I could set my idle at 1000 rpm if I wanted to. I am going with a 2800 st...

Re: 98 explorer ecu with big cam
Thanks for the info cgrey8. I am no stranger to tuning, I have a 90 Tbird SC that I work with all the time. I race it every weekend. What is the catch code of the 98 ecu that people have problems with? I have a 1997 ecu from a Mercury Mountaineer, my catch code is XDT2. Mine might not give me the pr...

98 explorer ecu with big cam
Has anyone tried blocking off the IAC and just use the tb to controller idle? Saw a guy on another forum said he did this and it worked well. Once he blocked off the IAC he used the tb adjustment screw to get the vehicle to idle. Then he disconnected the battery to reset the tb sensor. :D When I get...
