I don't know what you guys have for power in those engines but in my '99 Ranger with a 2.5 and a 5 speed with 3.73's in an open differential and my best run in the 1/8th is a 11.136 @ 62.12 my worst is a 11.568 @ 61.80. And the 1/4 times are 17.481 @ 77.04 and 17.920 @ 77.20. I'm running stock for now with 119 hp and 138? tq.

I had 4.10 gears, an aluminum driveshaft and a traction lock also. Plus my car weighed in with me and 1/4 tank of gas at just under 3000lbs.
