Definitely a sound kill! What kinda mods does it take to make a new explorer ecoboost run like that? Bet it's a helluval lot easier then what it would take for my GMC Acadia Denali to do that.

It just has a wicked tune on it and an AirAid intake as of now.

So does wicked tune mean you're going for max power rather than be safe?

No, just an awesome tune from Lund Racing.

I like to think my hhr surprises a lot of people, but if an explorer did that next to me I'd be like wtf?

Surprising. I wonder what the explorer makes for power with those mods. I would think that the STi would be in the high 2xx to low 3xxwhp range with those mods.

Just realized that it's the 3.5 in that explorer and not the 4 cylinder. When did they start putting those in the explorers?

In his defense the car has a cobb preloaded tune I believe. It was not dyno tuned. An explorer with my identical tune made 440wtq and and about 340whp. That explorer did not have an intake like mine does either.

I thought for sure he would have started pulling me in at about 85mph but I pulled to 115 before i let out. The 3.5 EcoBoost started in 2013 for the explorers.
