severely disappointed in the Lightning appearance.. Crewcab? No! I could accept a supercab, but thats too much weight for a Lightning... or a real L anyway.
I work for a Ford Dealer, so Im aware of the risk. I dont want to blow the engine, but a little extra torque would do me well. The Ranger is rated at 7500lbs towing. This weekend I towed 3k and couldnt even tell it was back there. I know if I hook a larger camper to it, Im gonna feel it. The...
So, Ive never tuned a vehicle in my life. Ive always relied on the factory settings. Well, now I have a new Ford Ranger Lariat. The SCT BDX Tuner offers me about 59 hp and same in torque or close to it.
How reliable is the engine with a tune that offers that much power without any other...
i HAVE TO DISAGREE with most of you. The story line has a serious tone to it and the humor to it should be subtle and not too silly. Most of the characters in the original were serious characters with the humor being fantastic and subtle at the same time. I like the way the story is set up and I...
I can once I go down and meet with the guys at the performance shop.
Probably in the second or third week of September we'll drive down. I want to check out their shop and see their operation.
If I like what I see, we will get detailed info and plan this engine proper!
i plan to go down to the shop Im talking to and meet the guy Im talking to. I want to check out the shop, look around a bit and make sure things will go as best they can. I expect delays given it'll be winter and thats ok with me. I want it done right. I'm going with the 2v build. All forged...
We are going with forged internals. My tech and I still have some planning to do on the best parts for NA that can handle a power adder. When I start thinking about that, all of a sudden its my car and not just a project. My actual goal is to buy my own car again after we finish her car and...
I think the wife would probably have a little fun in it. She wants some power, but shes not gonna be rollin down the strip every weekend. She and I discussed last night. I think we have a plan in place finally. The motor will be rebuilt but not to stock. Ive found a shop to quote the work. Gonna...
Called Delk. I believe they will be building me a motor. Talked to heath the tech. He was knowledgeable and answered all my questions. My goal is a 4.6 2v with 320-350 rwhp. We are talking about specifics soon and should have a plan developed soon. We know my goal naturally aspirated is going...
I just dont want to be dusted by a friggin Focus RS... that means Im going to have to increase my budget and rethink this entire vehicles future... let the pondering continue.
Well, I guess Im going to stick to the 4.6 2v. Add the pulleys, CAI, gears, lowering springs, and we'll let my wife look fast. I see no reason to pump up a car that she's going to drive on sunny days for fun. She wont race it. It'll sound good, be fun from light to light and be dependable...
