Not bad man. I've got a '98 Ranger 4x4 SC. Nice to see a fellow owner on JW!

yeah the whipple supercharger. nice. i am looking at a small nitrous system in the near future. everything else has to much time and money involved. to get 75 shot savely i need a new fuel pump and the nitrous system. and i should be in the 15s. do you have any times for your truck?

ARMAN 02-16-2006 05:36 PM

Never seen any car like that, looks interesting :) Nitros? Why? Why not get older sports car better? :)

TT havent seen it yet probably, no full size pics from imageshack only thumbnails are allowed cause they threatened to ban if we would do it :wink:

TT 02-16-2006 05:38 PM

Thanks for the custom shot, just two things:

please, make your signature smaller: max 500 pixels wide.

And also, do not directly link to imageshack for pics, even when small, use thumbs

TNT 02-16-2006 05:41 PM

^^^ true about size but they are like only 600 at max


but there are rangers out there with just a 50 shot of nitrous and nothing else in the low 15s. and to buy another car isn't in my budget ;) And for a 97 it has low miles and is in great shape. but if i get a LSD rearend, 75 shot of nitrous, ecu, fuel pump, an under drive pulley, and call it a day i would be in the 14s (high 14s) and it would still be a good DD :mrgreen:

edit: no prob TT

TT 02-16-2006 05:42 PM

Even if they are just 300 or 400, thumbs only ;)

ARMAN 02-16-2006 05:50 PM

Man what all those DD, 14s and stuff mean? :mrgreen: I am lost :lol:
Your right probably it would be cheaper to add some HP by changes than buying another car :)

DD means Daily Driver
14's as in 14 second Quarter Mile (high 14's at that) I can kill V6 Rangers now in my Pathfinder.
LSD Rearend as in a Limited-Slip differential and hopefully actual gears aswell.
ECU as in reprogram his computer
Underdrives means he want's to putpulleys on the front of the engine that create less drag from the engine yet they can cause problems at idle.

ARMAN 02-16-2006 06:32 PM

Oh thanx T-Bird :wink:

TNT 02-16-2006 07:11 PM

correct and a cookie is in the mail t-bird ;)

but yes i not trying to be the drag racer king. I am just looking for some more power when needed. and to keep it safe to drive every day.
