You still running the stock cats? A good h or x pipe might be in order.

GEARS!!!! u will notice the power u do have... u will feel gears more then if u gained 30 hp. get rid of your smog pump get an electric fan. there isnt alot of bolt ons you dont start getting any real power till u put a new h/c/i on it or stroke it.

Don't go for the Explorer intake unless you're really strapped for cash. Something like the TFS Street Burner would be better. Myself, I am looking at the BBK 5001. Comes with fuel rails and everything.

Picture the Cobra intake without the Cobra name plate and you have the Explorer intake. I believe they came on 97 and up Explorers?

its not the greatest thing since sliced bread but as far as factory intakes that is your best choice on a budget build and a stock 302 it will work just fine.
