Use your truck intake. The Explorer intake is more for midrange up upper RPM power. It makes a damn good Mustang intake. Your factory truck intake is way better simply because it was designed for a full sized truck. FYI Explorer valve springs suck. They're junk. You will need different springs for anything other than the stock cam. Unless of course you like to float valves
