Newbie here: 97 Procharged Expy

[pronstar]

Just discovered this site. I'm a member on some other Ford forums but never knew this Expy-specific forum existed.

I like to tinker with my toys, like to do the work myself if I've got the time.

She runs pretty good for 3 tons of fun.

Here's a pic of my truck.

very nice..... I will be adding an intercooler and a smaller pulley to mine in a couple of weeks. What does your boost curve look like? How musch boost do you see at 1000, 2000 and 3000 rpms with your current setup?

My boost gauge isn't hooked up right now and so I have to go by memory.

I see 10.5 psi at 5000 rpm, just before it shifts.

Not much boost at 1000 rpm, but by 3000 rpm I'm seeing about 5 psi.

forgive me for being dumb, but was there a procharger option on the expeidition? or is this strictly aftermarket? seems like a kick ass ride to me.

Aftermarket, Most people would ***** about the bad gas mileage when making all that extra horsepower. They would take it back to the dealer saying that "I'm only getting about 20 0-60 blasts per half tank so something must be wrong with my truck".....LOL

Most people that have expeditions don't ever really beat on them anyway, some of the people in this forum are the 1% of the population that does.
