How modified is this engine???
My 97 Explorer occasionally see's 5500 RPM with it's 5.0 and the 19 Lb'rs 
are keeping up nicely... It has headers and 3" exhaust, and weighs in at 
4400 LBS without my 285 pound fat rear in the seat...  O2 volts at WOT and 
high RPM never seem to go below 910mV even at the top of 2nd gear  (My 3.73 
rear gears are nice, but I want 4.10's...)
