talk all the **** you want I left a 4.0 watching my tailgate on the way home and it can be done again and again at any stoplight while you explain to your girlfriend why you cant do anything but look at my *** end.
maybe you 4.0 fellas need to put down the stickers and pick up a wrench.

Watching you post in this thread, I feel like I just told a retarded kid that the bee hive hanging in his back yard is a candy filled pinata, and now I'm watching him whack at it with a stick.

I'm just trying to get the point across that you don't have to have a 4.0 or v8 to make power. you can get all the power you need out of a 3.0 granted it isn't as easily handed to you like with a 4.0 but its there with a little time and money

Bro,Let it go.
Most of the people on this site that bash mods have never even seen a wrench before.
So you people that don't really know what your talking about should shut down and take your 4.0 talk where it belongs.
4.0 SOHC and 4.0 OHV Tech - Ford Ranger Forum - The Ultimate Ford Ranger Resource


As it has been said before. Headers,roller rockers,tune,4:10 gears and pulleys will all help performance of a 3.0.
Any time you improve airflow in [1.7 Roller rockers] and out [Headers] of a internal combustion motor you will see gains.Pulleys reduce drag on the accessories and a tune will give you throttle response and control shift firmness on a automatic.
My best advice is do what feels right for you and F the negative people who have no real advice.

Tony

A lot of 3.0 bashers. I love my 3.0. I get decent mileage, it's reliable, and it's got enough power to get me there if not quick; fast enough.

If you want some torque, throw in gears and a stall.

Its a sweet feeling when you tell some cockster that you will meet them on Friday for Freaky Friday to do a few runs and all you do is properly yank them... and I do mean properly, and say after the 3rd run with the guy, people begin to notice how fast you are going and people comment and say hey nice ranger. To this day there is a 03 ranger 4.0 lowered 4/5 with 17's catback and cold air intake, that thinks I have a factory freak/ 4.0 with 3.0 valve covers
