Darn that's what i was afraid of reading. I'm 99% sure mine has the vulcan, and I'd already figured that i was going to need to get everything in the engine custom designed if i had to go that route. Really most everything that'll increase power is going to have to be fabricated/pulled from something else. I've found an aftermarket intake that was designed for the same year Rangers that should fit on easy enough, but for the time being I'm going to pop a spectre air filter into the stock intake. I run full synthetic oil (which made a huge difference in how high the engine will smoothly rev) and I'm going to be installing a 180 degree thermostat this week. I'll be doing a sea foam treatment before i change the oil this next week as well. My next steps will be doing a tune up and switching to iridium spark plugs, get the resonator cut off, and then install a new muffler (the one i plan on getting should make my baby scream.) After that I plan on going to a dyno and having those guys work their magic with the computer, and seeing what kind of power i can make before doing any serious modifications. If i can find a small enough turbo kit i might not mess with the internal stuff, but the one I've been looking at is relatively large, especially for a stock NA engine (again, it's a long while off before i plan on trying that.) I plan on making this a one of a kind taurus, but any tips, tricks, suggestions, hacks, whatever would be seriously appreciated!
