my best run as an NA auto was 11.923 @ 59.63. Back when I only had intake and a ranger header, I ran 12.545 @ 55.97mph, but that was with my 90hp stock (you have 105hp stock).

I don't know what you guys have for power in those engines but in my '99 Ranger with a 2.5 and a 5 speed with 3.73's in an open differential and my best run in the 1/8th is a 11.136 @ 62.12 my worst is a 11.568 @ 61.80. And the 1/4 times are 17.481 @ 77.04 and 17.920 @ 77.20. I'm running stock for now with 119 hp and 138? tq.

I had 4.10 gears, an aluminum driveshaft and a traction lock also. Plus my car weighed in with me and 1/4 tank of gas at just under 3000lbs.

Engine Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
