Tuner / performance gain for Explorer

Hello all,

New to this stuff, and did not find what i was looking for in the search function so I'll ask.

For the money what would give me the best/most noticable gain with a '94 V6 explorer.

Intake...Tuner... or ?

Diablo chip, exhaust, and intake, in that order as far as most power. I've done all 3 to my Ranger and it is awesome. The chip adds power at all RPM's and you notice it at all throttle positions and it's cheper than a good exhaust will be.

Can I do the chip with out the exhaust and intake?

Or will the stoke intake and exhaust restrict too much of the chips potential?

Also with a chip, am I forced to running Premium fuel only?

Yes you can do it without the intake and exhaust and yes you would have to run premium. But if you want the power, it's worth it. You should also get slightly better mileage so it helps to offset the cost of premium.

You'll be surprised by the result. Most, but not all people, will see enough of a mileage increase with the premium tune to break even or at least make the difference in cost minor. Your mileage will vary according to how much of a lead foot you have after the chip.

They have a 30 day money back guarantee. Not going to say there's never a return... no product is perfect for everyone and results vary by PCM code but the return rate is very low.
