i put this in 4.6 tech because even though its an explorer, it still has the 4.6 V8.

my problem is, i just went on a long trip with it, on some great open highways, and the friggin 105-106 top speed limiter kept stoping me from getting all the speed i can. at one point this celica came up next to me when i was doing 80, i floored it to limit, beat him the whole way then he past me!

anyway, i dont want 200 out of it, but is there any way i can get it to go 120? would it be easy or would i have to reprogram it? thanks for any help!

Jesus dude, your in an explorer!!! Higher center of gravity = flips easily!

Use the stang to have some fun, the explorer to take the kids out and get some groceries.

But yes you can have it reflashed or cut a wire and put a switch inline to allow you to go over the 106 limiter.

I know what you mean man, but in the end, forget the celica. Id rather be pimping in an explorer than some rice burner. Don't let 'em get to ya

i just cant help it *cry*. no, seriously though, your probably right. but its still fun, you should have seen the look on his face when i took off.

i think i might start getting stuff to make that faster over my GT, lol. but man that K&N is really helping, i can hear the air being sucked in. i think 120 would still be safe though......as long as i dont turn hard. im taking 35MPH off ramps at 70 so its not like it cant handle, you just gotta take it smooth

my 04 explorer v8 rides nice but still i wouldn't roll up to 120 in it. maybe you should trade it in for an 05 with advancetrac w/ roll stability then you can try to top 120

my 03 limited has advance trac and roll stablity, i thought all V8's had that? i know the power is there, but the limiter gets in the way.

i hit the 106 limit easily, how do you mean wont roll up there?
