99' 3.0 6 cyl what to do

COBRA66 · 07-13-1999, 12:57 AM

I just bought a 99' ranger 3.0, and just wanted to know what I could do to just get a little more power, something it already has plenty of.

A 3.0L that has plenty of power, but you want more, hmmm.

Larger exaughst
K&N Air Filter
Rear-end Gears
Bump Timing
Maybe some underdrive pullies (I don't really like these)
Synthetic Fluids (These really do free up some hp)
Port/Polish Air/intake manifolds, also exaughst manifold (better air flow).
Maybe a aftermarket fan with a 180Deg. thermostat (the cooler the engine the better, heat robs power)
Also try to lighten it up as much as possible removing weight is like gaining hp (but be sure to leave some weight over the rear-wheels for traction.

Hope this helps.

Brad.
