Deathbypsi's old Ranger is BACK!
Best overall run:
60ft........1.443
330.........4.492
1/8.........6.97
MPH.........100.87
1000........9.166
1/4.........11.037
MPH.........121.11
Stock shortblock, worked iron head by yours truly, 4 banger T5, 3.27 8.8, 26x8.5 M/T's. I'll post the whole combo in the "proven" thread when I'm a little less tired. There is nothing expensive on the truck, and it runs on E85- I could drive it everyday if I were so inclined, it drives great.
Best 60ft was 1.418, that gets your attention [Eek!] Only 2 good launches both in the 1.4's, others were 1.5's spinning.
Basically if I had a couple more runs, the 10.99 is right there... my shifting sucked frankly.. and I never got the right combo of good launch + clean run. It's running out of fuel on the big end, hence the 1/8MPH vs. 1/4MPH, needs more fuel system.
Video is coming in a few days when I get a way to upload them, got a great vid of the 11.0 run, hangs the fronts pretty good [Big Grin]
