I'm looking to do some mods to my 4.0 sohc manual ranger. I don't own one yet but I'm trying to figure out how much I will be spending. I definately will get a cold intake, exhaust, tbs, and mabye a programmer, headers, and mass air flow sensor. I'm trying to stay on a budget so keep that in mind.
-Cold air intake: Who makes the BEST and how much? Do the ones with those tubes that funnel air from under your head lights to the filter make a difference?
-Exhaust: What is the best performing exhaust that is still very quiet. My last exhaust was increadibly annoying. It sounded beechin but on the freeway and around town that drooning noise was very annoying.
-Throttle Body: Is there a best tbs? Is there a difference in the performance of a tbs verses one of those vortex things you put in your intake system? How much of a difference?
-Programmer: What is the best out there? Will this affect the reliability of my engine? Can this be used in culmination with towing or will it cause my engine to overheat? My last Hyper III caused my s10 4.3 to idle funny and bog or rev wierd but I totaled the truck before I could figure out exactly what was wrong.
-Headers: How difficult are they to install? Will it make a big difference with the other mods I plan on doing? Will headers make my ride louder or are there performance headers that retain the stock decible level?
-Mass air flow sensor: Are these worth the $350? Can't I just remove the screen on my stock sensor? I've heard that if I do that that my check engine light will come on but other than that are there any other problems?
-Other Mods: Any other budget conscious mods I could do to my truck?
