chpcamaro, thanks so much for the needed info.if you had to say and in a ballpark figure, what kinda of horsepower gains would you say i might gain? would it be really noticeable , or just a kind of suttle gain?as it stands now, it leaves really hard on just a regular country asphalt road.

the vehicle is a 2001 ford ranger, it has 4:30 gears,c-4 tranny,it has 11.1 compression, dome top pistons.the intake is a edelbrock performer rpm.its got 2 1/2 inch pipe with flowmaster exhaust.i am running a holley 750 dp. i just put a 3000 stall. it probably will see the track just to see what it ...

what kind of of power gains could i possibly see?

i have never owned a set of aluminum heads but going to go ahead and bite the the bullet now. any suggestions on how big i should go?this is just a weekend warrior vehicle with a mildly built 302.any advice would be apreciated.tia

this truck is mostly a weekend truck. i drive it to town when the wife and i go out to eat or just to play with the ricers. this truck has not been to the track one time. i would like to take it to just see what it runs.got me wondering if just a bigger tire would be my answer, maybe a m/t et drag s...

i am running 14 lbs. wouldnt running more pressure do more harm than good?

supernova you are correct about it being on a street, a country rock road at that.

i have got a ford ranger , leaf spring, ford 9inch, 4.30 gears, c-4 tranny, stock shocks, the motor is putting out roughly 340 hp, and 358 ft.lbs torque.i am running hoosier quick time dot radials.they are 275x50x15. i put a holley double pumper and a 3000 stall. after that change, it just blows the...

thanks for the advice guys. yes it was the gauge and yes it was a jegs liquid filled gauge. i thought the first gauge was bad and bought another one just like it.well, it didnt work right either. i just put on a new , non-liquid filled and it works like a charm.jegs sells a lot of quality parts but ...

john, i have a new 750 double pumper with the pressure gauge about 6" from the banjo fitting. the fuel pressure reg. is about 3 from the pressure gauge.the gauge and reg. is mounted to the firewall directly above the back of the engine.

a couple of things i left out. i was using a return to the top of the fuel cell. i got the same results with or with out it.one more thing , i can set the reg. at 6lbs. and it will drop as the motor gets hot. i can go out the next morning and crank it and it will be around 13 or 14 lbs. i am about r...

my problem is with fuel presure. my fuel pressure is never consistent. i have tried 3 different pressure regulators and the same thing happens. i have tried 2 different pressure gauges and still the same thing. when i start the motor cold , it will read 14lbs. and as the motor warms up it will drop ...

i overheard some guys at the track talking about modifying the secondary or something to that effect. any idea as to what they might have been talking about.i didnt hear the whole story.any tips would be great.

thanks again for the help
