Glad too see the word EE coming from zach. However long it takes is fine, just so it's on the list.

As far as 4.0 vs 5.0, my tranny swap is basically a public statement that I am sticking with the 4.0. The one i'm putting in won't swap to a 5.0. That pretty much sums up my feelings about it.

I'd love to tinker with rpcasters supercharger adapter for the 4.0. Make a project out of it.

I've been thinking about getting a set of those for my truck, I got the JBA cat back and I love it, when it first got put on it had a slight ricey kinda sound to it but what can you expect from a v6, but over the last year its been on it has gotten deeper and sounds great.
A friend of mine told me he heard a ranger with both JBA headers and exhaust and said it sounded like the guy had a v8 under the hood, ide be very interested in a sound clip after you get them on, I know you have a different exhaust but will be interesting to see what it sounds like, let us know if there is a difference in sound and any noticable power gains, oh and what the install is like.

Let me know when you figure it out, so I can determine if I want them or if I can talk myself out of that idea.

you guys know my install will be much different than most anyone elses right?

you can almost see and work around the whole manifold with little issues.

a non modified or SAS'd truck would have a little more work.
