Yes, there are chips for your Explorer. You can get them right here. Click the [link: motorhaven.autoanything.com|online store] link on the top/right of the screen here and then click either Superchips or Diablo.

It doesn't replace anything. Rather, it plugs into the computer port, overrides the stock programming and does the following:


The chip remaps the ignition curves and advances timing curves by anywhere from 3-8 degrees, depending on load and rpm. The fuel curve is remapped by an average of 2% leaner than the original curve, mainly because the factory settings are set rich in order to cool the catalytic converter for low-grade fuel. High octane gasoline burns more complete and cooler than lower-grade gasoline. We trim the excess fuel based on high octane gasoline and by doing so we create a better air/fuel ratio, which equals more power, i.e. more efficient running engine.

For electronic transmissions, the line pressure is increased, firming up shifts. Shift points are optimized, controlled by mph at partial throttle and by rpm at wide-open throttle. The shift delay is reduced, allowing gears to engage quicker and torque convertor lockup parameters are adjusted.
