I didn't follow most of this, but is it still considered a "stock ranger" at
that point?
I wouldn't. Which would not compare to our Daks, unless someone here has
something simmilar and isn't sharing.

>>The ranger that ran the 11.78@116 was kinda of an

>>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

>>ignition system and it made 301@4500. I had a

>>The truck was gutted down to 3100lbs with me in

>>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.
