id like to see what differences the coil would make on a SOHC. granted it wont make much more hp, but it will help throttle response and the idle.
if it shows an improvement, this will be on the list of items to be done on the ranger when it needs a tune up (50,000 miles)...

i would be willing to bet that it would also improve the throttle response.....i know the idle on the SOHC's are better and smoother than the OHV's.......

hopefully Rick keeps us updated on the SOHC install and gives good data for the SOHC....

so what if i just buy the demon pack and replace it and dont do anything with the plugs and wires? I know the wires are ok, but what if i dont gap them? Will it be harmful or anything? Will i notice anythign good/bad?

Be careful with the SOHC plugs, they are platinum and you can damage them during the gapping procedure!!!

Leaving stock gap wont hurt anything, but the whole point to the coil pack is being able to regap them allowing them to burn all the fuel making your truck more effiecent. You should still see a slight difference with the coil pack anyway...
