I grew up with V8s and muscle cars. When I got my 2nd ranger it was a 99 4x4 4door 4.0L V6 and I always thought there should be a V8 option. I passed that one on to a friend at 200k after I bought a 2007 4x4, 4door, 4.0L SOHC V6 sport model.

I've been wanting to do some upgrades as I'm jealous of those here who already have. Looking in on the explorer V8 swaps and the Eaton M90 supercharger addons I'm split as to which would be the best bang for buck.

The output for the 99 V8 Windsor and my 07 SOHC V6 are pretty close. I need to pass vehicle emissions test and be street legal. What I'd like to know is, what kind of upgrades you can do to the Windsor V8 and still be smog and street legal and what gains in torque and horsepower you might achieve vs adding headers, exhaust and a supercharger to my V6. I dont have barrels of money to make my dream truck but I'd like to boost the performance. I'd love to hear pros n cons of both.
