If you ever build one get the coast high kit(Crank,rods,pistons,etc)It was the best one out of all the ones I checked out and I can say from first hand the pistons were good for 20lbs of boost.

Out of college, Ive decided to buy a TB F250 Used, but man, those engines are just INSANE with some mods.

Yeh our old neighbor had an Excursion that ran high 12's, I don't even remember the work that was done but know the turbo's were upgraded and it had propane injection. Towed his boat like there were a pair of jet ski's out back lol.

But the Explorer was a beast, it ripped on the street, and those runs were on the old setting, it ended up with 600+ rwhp but they never ran it at the track b/c the cage wasn't installed yet. Only Explorer I know of that had Sparco racing seats I think with harnesses LOL.

It would love to own that Explorer.

It may be apples and oranges but if the Ferrari the orange I'll take that one and you can have the apple.

Good. If we are racing and I wreck my Explorer, I'll just transer the power components and such to a new Explorer and be good for another race. But if you wreck your Ferrari, well, to bad. That is one expensive Orange to drop. Besides, the ability to afford that kind of Orange is in question for 99% of people.

AND, most people that have the money to buy an exotic don't have the balls to drive it like it was built.

I'm not trying to start anything here, but you can't compare a top end exotic to a home build Explorer. The money and practicality differences are on opposite ends of the spectrum.
