Due to the loose (high stall speed) of th torque converter, the power numbers on a chassis dyno are a bit sad at first glance. It only show's about 260 horsepower to the wheels. Loose converters play games with the dyno computers math. The actual output of the engine is right around 350 naturally aspirated and in the neighborhood of 475 on the bottle. Unfortunately, the engine in the truck at the time this video was made has since expired. New engine on its way though. New videos soon!
It's getting ladder bars and coil-overs this winter, along with some bracing for the axle. I'd really like to switch to a 9-inch, but money is a little tight. S&W Race Cars make a really nice setup for Rangers that allows everything to fit under the bed. Its very reasonably priced as well and it includes everything. That should help with the 60ft times and keep it a bit more consistent.
The rear suspension is currently just a set of Belltech 3 inch drop leafs with a pair of 3 way adjustable drag shocks. The axle is an 8.8 out of an FX4 Ranger with 4.10 gears and a Detroit Locker. I recently added traction bars after it bent the hell out of the springs in Joliet this past July. It made about 100 passes on nothing more than the springs and shocks. It was dumb not to have at least slapper bars on it. I learned that the hard way from 2 bent springs and a twisted axle tube.
what headers are you running that is the biggest problem i have with my 01 i have to use explorer headers very constrictive

How did you do the rear suspension? did you have to fab up mounts for the rear?
