What was the Navigator engine? I thought it was a 5.4 4v.
I looked buying a new Lincoln Aviator (Explorer) once. Wasn't that a 4.6L 4V? I wanted it because it looked like good hot rod material. They had that tune so soft it was ridiculous, poor bottom end to 3500 RPM, then once it got going it retarded the throttle / timing when it shifted and it took forever to get the rev's going from there. I called a couple of chip tuners and they said they would never mess with it, small market and unique Lincoln wiring and computer. So I passed on it. My stock '05 Expedition with 5.4L 3v and 3.73's is much better on acceleration.
I'd love to play with a new SHO Taurus!
