wander what that new 2.3 D-Tech would run, its got the same HP as the 3.0, its just 200 lbs. lighter...

 

I drove a 5 speed one today for work, man it was a dog haha. My truck runs mid to low 15s I guesstimate. I also guesstimate it has roughly 215RWHP and maybe 250FWHP? It however is extended cab with auto. And with my current tires I have no traction but thats soon to change.

 

Check out dragtimes.com they have tons of times slip and a page or two of rangers. Most of them on there are v8's but there a couple of stockies.

 

A used whipple supercharger. Limited slip rear end. JD traction bars. Higher stall on your convertor. Cold weather. It would be nice if we had your starting point (current 60', time, and mph). Those three things will tell whether it is HP needed, traction, or both.

A buddy of mine has hit a flat 16 in a 3.0 single cab manual with bad 60' times (2.4). With slicks and skinnies he would be there.

 

No way, not with the mods in your sig.

 

see thats the thing, im wanting to know, if i can get this into the 15's. to run NMRA Truck/Lightning class you have to run qualify at 15.99 or better, (indexed at 15.89) so id have to be able to run at least a .89

I had plans to run my tbird at the NMRA race here in Joliet in july, but the tbird is not going to be fixed by then. new plan was to run brackets in my ZX2 but i traded that in last week on this ranger, now im going to race the truck but i have 2 options, truck or brackets. i dont plan on doing any testing before then to get a baseline so thats why all the questions. if it is absolute no it wont run the number, thats fine ill run brackets, but if it can run it id like to run in the truck class. the difference is that in brackets i pick the dial, in truck you qualify. plus the costs are different, brackets are open to all, truck you have to be a nmra member and have a truck class permanent number. the magazines cover the truck class but dont do squat for the et classes.

as for the converter/rear end, ive got a 4.56 gear here and the tc can be had from my buddy at DirtyD0g Performance, basicly he would do whatever i said i wanted in it. the whipple sounds like a good plan but im not sure if i want a blower or turbo. i guess i could throw the n2o on it from the bird.

 

^^^ I would go with the blower, people have had a great deal of success with it...

 

hah.. not really

Some people that had them, have taken them off because of blown gaskets and such.

 

Has anyone ever seen the pinks show where the rangers raced. that was a pretty sweet one!!

 

You are at miminum 1-1/2 to 2 seconds from where you need to be. Without some prior testing I would have nitrous ready if needed- or be ready for brackets. A single cab manual 3.0 would be there easily with slicks. Not sure about the extra weight of the extended can along with the automatic tranny. Who knows. I wish I had a definate path you could take. I haven't pursued the extended cab auto to that level. Good luck and keep us posted.

I always find the brackets fun. A bunch of the drivers are amateur. Redlights, break outs, High dial in times, etc. No you don't get the exposure, but you can move up and possibly win the thing.

 

All I know is a ranger edge 03 with 4.10 rear end can do 0-60 in about 10 seconds with good shifting, atleast that is what I got.

 

I ran last night-
17.90 at 73.76 with one passenger.
Only thing I have done is put a K&N in and cut off the OEM air box snorkel.

2001 Mazda B3000 3.0 with 41,000miles

 

I have a 04 Cobra for track & weekend use,but I could'nt leave the Ranger alone.05 reg.cab 4.10 gear 5spd. auto K&N drop in filter 60 H.P. wet kit & tuner.Besides that it's stock.15.06 @ 95mph.A good tuning device is a must have.

 

I ran in the 15s with my 2002 NA, however I had alot of crap done to it. I am much happier with my Whipple now, wouldnt trade it for any other mod.

 

Pretty slow. I raced my friends 3.8 mustang and he beat me by about 4 cars.

 

I have a 2003 V6 3.0 extended cab and I have a 0-60 of 6.7 seconds.

A lot has been replaced, but everything is comparable to stock. It also has a fairly new engine. The truck has about 800k miles on it but the engine has probably around 50-100k.

 

800,000 miles , WOW

 

I drive a ton. I live in California and I've driven through two-thirds of the states with her including regular trips to and from New York and even a trip up to Alaska once. Additionally, I enjoy light off-roading with her, though this doesn't add much millage so much as wear-and-tear. Achieving 800K didn't come cheaply or easily. At one point or another I've had to replace just about everything under the hood. I'm on my third engine, I cracked my radiator in half at one point, I burnt a hole in my throttle body assembly, and even had to rewire the entire truck when the electrical crapped out a few years back. There's tons more but I don't remember all nor do I think you want a long list. Suffice it to say, it would have been much more cost effective to simply get another truck, but I love this one and will do whatever it takes to keep her running. I hope to cross 1 million in the next couple years.
