I should also note that this is the first time the ranger has had any work done to it outside of my shop since I have owned it. It was kinda rough to sit back but I knew nothing about what they were Doing so I just took notes LOL

most 4 link setups have a pro , at the track, watching until you get the setup dialed. I know I woulda had someone from CA or somebody qualified to get it dialed in. iirc there's 270 points of adjustment .

It's always been in the plans. We have just been focusing more on trans and motor until now. Plus it was already suppose to be set up when we got it.

there is NO WAY it could have been , it didn't make any power. I think the rule of thumb is ONCE you make the power range, then you dial it.

The lightning did the same stuff with the 7.3 compared to the cummins. It was just worse and faster lol.

Yeah the guys said it was way wrong

But it has got me this far I can't complain! I will just be happy if the tire squeal is gone lol

Good to hear Matt. Is that an old Fairlane in primer? When I was at the shop last there was a long fiberglass funnycar chassis and body in that spot. Late 60s mustang styling. It was sweet.

I need to find a shop around here to do the same for me. The 4 link is definitely a science

There are a few chassis programs out there that will help with setting up and adjusting. Just takes time and a lot of measuring. Different tracks you will have to set it up different. Just keep good records.

What you don't think the ranger could be a Baja truck? It's already 4 link in the rear and IFS in the front man it's ready to go to the dunes!

All you have to add is an air filter. Maybe a super filtration K+N

Last night we Ran a 10.0@136 on fuel

9.59@143 ans 9.61@145 on spray!

Last pass we were at 145 hitting the rev limiter at 1000'

Need a regear or taller tire. Gotta crunch numbers to know what way we wanna go
