So no one has modded their Expy? Just drive it? I find that hard to believe.

Hey just saw your post. Seems very few on here are into modifying for better performance. Usually get a response about how big and heavy it is and that its not a race car. That being said I enjoy playing with my 06 Navigator. Ive added a magnaflow 3" cat back exhaust and an SCT tuner the tuner made a big difference on how the truck feels and drives. They tune the throttle by wire for a much quicker feel. Even though SCT cant tune my 6 speed transmission it does shift out of high gear alot less so that would seem to indicate that the horse power increase is for real. Over all I like it and I like the way it drives and feels.

Actually it seems like it did. Ive only used the dash mileage as a gauge but when I'm not hammering on it like just going to work and back it is up about 2 mpg. might not seem like much but it makes me smile to see 16mpg and 17 if i"m not going over the hills here in upstate ny.

Im running a 93 octane performance tune. You get three tunes with it and you get to choose what works best for you

As you can see by my signature that I have modded my older Expy a good bit. Made it alot more fun to drive. My wifes 03 Explorer with the 4.6 has shorty stainless headers, Magnaflow catback, K&N cold air intake and stage one cams. Picked up about 70 hp.
