Wanna seen a '96 Explorer run 11.5??

1996 Ford Explorer. Custom 347, Vortech S/C 11psi, custom cams, etc. 500whp 500lbfts NO Nitrous. Hasn't run with N20 because he's afraid it will break.

I don't know squat, really, about Fords, but did it make a 347 cid engine? Seems awfully close to the 351. Was it a smaller engine (326...??) bored to 347?

No way this is definitely better than a minivan. Less wimp factor and still completely unexpected (sleeper).

Thing about it. He rolls up to a light next to a Viper, Z06, anything. The only thing giving him away are his 17" Cobra rims on the street, and more obviously the noise from his ridiculous agressive cams. Then he just smokes 'um

Well I can't argue there. Other then that Cobra badge you don't get a more definitive definition for the word "sleeper."
