if your looking for something to do for awhile then i suggest you also find more things to do aswell because it takes all of 2 minutes LOL. go under your dash and check the play in your gas peddle, its stretched throttle cable, put some zip ties at the top until your peddle has no more slack on it

not at all! the size doesnt mean that much! the Mitsu Evo Has like 310 hp and its a 2.0! and the 4.3 chevy is much heavier then the ranger! so that .3 has to push alot more weight faster. I did the TC mod and it gave me about 20 hp.. 3 zipties... on my 2.5L but its not like your adding 20 hp its just that youve been driving and not pushing your truck all the way this whole time..

Honestly i left my opinion vague so as not to start this stuff..haha, I guess i should of mentioned the only 4.3's I have driven/raced was a 02 Zr2, drove and raced it 1/8 mile versus my truck. Beat it two times in a row. And the other was an early nineties half ton and it was the carbed version.

So you put the truck on a dynamometer after you did the zip tie mod? hahahaha

I drive a 4.3 (oldsmobile, SUV NOT mine) and my ranger 4.0. I can say the 4.0 is much faster, but the 4.3 isnt a push over either, those are pretty powerful engines... And i dislike GM very much lol.. just to throw it out there.. Ford 4.0 SOHC FTW! And im going to give that zip tie thing another try.. Should i use just 1 small zip tie? How much slack should be taken out? I'd think having it too tight could snap something.. Anyone know of this?
