Clear corners will be the next. They're on order. Of course, I may paint my calipers and drums before they get here. Or I might crank my torsion bars. So much to do...

What tires?
I need new tires so I don't consider that a mod. I am trying to make up my mind between an OBX Longtube set up or a water to air intercooler.

Very nice Colin
Are you doing the work yourself or you have it in the shop somewhere
Nope, doing all the work myself. Here is some info on the motor:
Roush assembled 4.6
Livernois 5.0 Stroker Kit (everything fully forged)
Comp Cams XE270AH Cams and upgraded springs
Forged crank
Manley H Beam Rods
Mahle Pistons
Compression ratio is somewhere in the mid-8's (for boost)
It's going to be a monster.

Colin

I really have no idea. The motor should make 275whp NA. Once I put the blower on after break-in it should be an easy 425whp.

I also just ordered the newest Mod Chip for the Ranger, Its the Proformance Venom II, It s supposed to increase HP by 20, and milage by 7-12 MPG... Hope it works, and is worth the $300.00 price tag... I also Ordered a new larger air intake, again supposed to give more HP... Will keep you guys posted... I guess new tires can wait a few weeks.....

A friend has a set of headers he doesnt need. He thinks they will fit my Ranger. If they will it looks like it will be a big job to install, would it be better to have them installed by a muffler shop. Is there any other upside other than it will breath a bit better? He wants $350 for the headers, also seems like its a bit much...

If they are long tubes and they fit I would go for it but 350$ for used shorties your probably better off just buying new, look around there are tonnes of different makes and all priced differently.
You won't get much performance difference with short tubes but they will wake up you exhaust. I noticed a big sound and power difference with my long tubes.

My next mod is in the pre-fab stages. Was not completely happy with the MacGyver Limited Edition CAI airbox so planning on making a completely new box but making it more rectangular and a little bigger. Took some measurements and fabbed up a cardboard template for cutting/bending the sheet metal. No timetable on when it will get done but hopefully before it gets too cold outside to work on it.

With a whipple on a stock 4.6, my tuner told me i would expect 428 rear wheel with a safe tune. Yours is stroked, forged and cammed so I would expect you would see 15-18 boost safely and should be close to 460-490 rear. Just my guess.
consider that you may need 60 # injectors.
sounds like it is going to be a fun build.

Lifting the ranger a bit for free since my moms bf wants to pay for it for xmas. So shackles and torsion bar crank. Found a nice set of 285/75r16 Goodyear MT/R tires with 1000km so I might get those
Was going to do gauges. Found a new pod and 3 gauges for $250 still going to get them but not till the end of the month. Something I was not really planning on doing was a tuner but got a killer deal on an Edge Juice with Attitude. Brand new in the box for $375. Also would like to lose the cat and maybe the muff and just run a straight pipe.

I'm going to move my stack exhaust close to the cab and cut the back off the box and move it further into the box to cover the exhaust piping. This should leave a nice space to fit the spare tire behind the window. Should look awesome.
