Hey...I just found your Explorer. That is one WICKED truck on steroids! I give you props on that. However, I noticed you're in Lake Villa...I want to take my truck into a different direction and would like to see your truck if that's alright with you and I could show you mine. I live in Carpentersville, so let me know if that's cool with you...later.

Hey Nice Ride! I noticed that you have a wideband o2 setup in your car. I'm with PLX Devices and we're looking for nice cars to sponsor with our new gauges. We have some new 52mm and 60mm programmable gauges. Check them out on our website (www.plxdevices.com) if you're not familiar with our new offerings. If you're interested please email me at paul@plxdevices.com

Thanks. I took the old stock motor out and sold it because I knew it would not be able to handle the kind of horsepower I would be running once the new phase 2 build was completed. The current engine is built to withstand 1,000+ horsepower as is almost everything else in the truck, and eventually I intend to test that limit or at least come close.
