    Got a buddy with a turbo Ford ranger. Wants to line up with me. From what I recall about this truck,

    2.3l bored some
    Custom cam
    Hx35 turbo
    Full inter cooled
    Meth injection
    Big injectors
    Auto with Manuel lockup
    Makes up to 28psi on e85
    When we race he's going to run 20psi


    I am on stock tuning, dp, one stage cooler plugs, hai, trans go shift kit.

    I don't expect to be even close except out of the hole (as he's rwd on street tires)

    This truck at full boost will run 12.6's with a less than 2.4 second 60ft.
    I might convince him to run 15psi lol.

    Sent from my iPhail
    97 gtp, cone filter mod, downpipe and glasspack to stock muffler mod, 180* t-stat mod, bad driver mod
