Hello

[Sweeten34]

Hey guys I've used this site a few times but thought its time to sign up as I've ran into major problems with my ranger (which is well expected given the abuse I've delivered it) I guess blistering 305 hp out of a 3.0 was a lil much lol anyway I'm about a shade tree mechanic kinda in my blood but all this new stuff is over my head but I do what I can looking forward to outside advice

I'd love to hear how you got 305 h.p. out of a 3.0.

 

[SenorNoob]

Me too. Would turbo and WAY too much NOS even get you close to that?

 

[Sweeten34]

Started off with elec fans cold air true duals then added about 150 shot to it and programmer 305 was the best of 5 passes on a dyno with 330 ft lbs so it is achievable but don't full yourself it came at a big price fried piston rings blew head gaskets blew intake apart an broke crankshaft so I wouldn't advise doing it but starting a build for a 302 or well 306 after it's bored out so yea it's possible just not for more than a year or so

 

[James86]

What were you hitting without the NOS? Stock HP rating for a 3.0 is about 150ish, but I have pondered programmers.

 

[Sweeten34]

Stock was 160 then we added cooler thermostat duals fans cold air oh an we polished the intake manifold an slapped it with a programmer that put us at 198hp then ran a 50 shot for a week a 75 for a week then 150 shot and the mighty lil ranger became a mustang killer lol

 

[James86]

What programmer did you use? I'm planning on some upper end work down the road since I gotta fix the two broken studs on my exhaust manifolds someday...lol

150 shot on stock internals was asking for a motor swap. Scribed for the 5.0 build...
