Yeah Ken,

I'v ebeen reading that also. Seems awfully far reaching for the amount of mods. I too would like to see how he got his "dyno" numbers.

How many of us would NOT spend $1000 bucks to get those type numbers. However, he states he has those numbers but never mentions any tranny oor brake upgrades. NOT WISE!

Monsta,

Watch out. With his vast posting experience, he may have more inside info on these Modular engines than you...

He might want to try one of those Tornado thingys. Bound to get more HP out of it.

Sheesh. We all need to learn I guess.

As a sidenote, , I did find a most wonderful modification that is even simpler than a 'bolt-on'. I did the 'chain on' modification. Took about 5 minutes, and here are the results:

1. 500+ verified horsepower.
2. 1800 ft/lbs of torque.
3. Infinite economy (doesn't burn any fuel).
4. 0 tire wear.
5. NO ENGINE NOISE OF ANY KIND.

Yup. Just buy my simple chain on mod and all this can be yours. A very low, low price. Just wait and see. Simply send $75 via paypal to me, and I'll send you the plan.

<Sidenote: in case you believe in Tornado intakes and other similar devices, and read the above post thinking I'm serious, let me tell you what the plan is: chain your Expedition on a lowboy being towed by a Semi (specifically a Mack).>

Don't you think a couple of JATO rockets chained to the luggage rack would produce the same effect???

I guess I must not be able to find the same parts that this guy is boasting about....

Couple gallons of rocket fuel, 3 bottle rockets, a bottle of Coke and a package of Pop Rocks got me 139 MPG on my last trip... (OOPS! I should have sold that information to you...I stole it from Farmlaw's secret information vault!)

This is freaking driving me nuts. We all need to learn, but some of the ignorance here is just astounding. Now I guess that negative, or harsh feedback is neither healthy nor desired here... I just want to scream:

YOU ARE A FREAKING IDIOT!

Me: I know what you problem is: give it back to the dealer.
They: Oh really, is it that serious?
Me: No, you are just to freaking stupid to own a vehicle.

Guys don't laugh at him. I changed my spark plugs, brake pads, blinker fluid, and vacuumed out the interior and gained an extra 350 hp in the process. Who knew?!
