Well I use to have an Explorer and after i recked it I got the 8.8 to swap into my next truck. Well that has 3.73s in it so Im going to swap that out.

I just found out I have an 8.8 Posi with 3.05 gears. Not sure how those gears are but they still scare me sometimes.


I was talking to my friend that races and he said all I need is an like a K&N Cold Air Intake and just a Chip for the ECU. Im in the process of buying pipe for a straight pipe too. After a little tweeking to the computer I was told I could reach the 12s.

Would that work?

I dont see you anywhere close to 12s with a cold air intake and a chip. Are you putting the 3.73 in the car? Either way I think youre gonna need a little more...not trying to be harsh its just the truth...

my 95 gt 5speed with 3.73s, pro 5.0 short throw, bbk shorties, bbk catted xpipe, 245/45/17 street tires, bbk underdrive pullies I am at like 14.2 ish, Maybe I could hit closer to a 14.0 with a cold air intake considering the intake is still stock down to the paper filter at the moment.

ive got a 95 5.0 with cold air intake and complete exhaust.
and my best was a 9.58 in the eigth which turns out to be around a 14.9 in the quarter.
and just so u know they dont make chips for our cars, you have to buy a tunning program like tweecer or get it dyno tuned.
but ur buddies wrong.
get gears, good tires, suspension, and learn to drive good.

You will notsee 13's with those mods, let alone 12's. The straight pipes will sound like poo too.
