>The ranger that ran the 11.78@116 was kinda of an
>apple to an orange too. It had a SVO tall block
>2.3L 4 cylinder block. Wiseco 8:1 forged slugs,
>crower sportsman rods, an O-ringed aluminum head,
>ATR header with a turbonetics T4 hybrid turbo
>sitting at the end of it. I used a cartech
>intercooler and a electromotive TEC II to handle
>fuel injection and ignition. The only thing ford
>under the hood was the block and plug wires. I
>wired a N2O mastermind controller to an open loop
>in the tec II to deliver a 100 horse shot of juice
>at 2600RPM. That eliminates any lag the big turbo
>would have had and keeps the manifolds pretty dry.
>I had the motor in my 89 4x4 at first.. I put it
>on the chassis dyno with no n20 and a stock
>ignition system and it made 301@4500. I had a
>floor dryer supplying air to the intercooler.
>Since my 4x4 has 9 inches of lift and 35 inch
>tires that motor was out of place. I bought a 90
>regular cab shortbed and went to town on it.
>
>The truck was gutted down to 3100lbs with me in
>it. I added glass fenders, hood, and plastic
>windows (side and rear). The stock frame was
>lopped off just after the cab and a CE narrowed,
>rear coil over 4 link chassis was welded in. It
>had too much flex so we ran a full cage from back
>to front. The rear frame rails rose too far to be
>used in a truck so the bed floor had to go. I
>fabbed up a bracket between the rear tubs to hold
>the fuel cell and battery and mounted the bottle
>to to a plate right behind the cab. It has
>31X15.50 Mickey Thompson ETs on it in the back and
>26X7.50 sportys on the front. The rear axle was a
>KTE dana 60 with 4.56 gears and a minispool.
