Quarter mile: My results
Well its definetely a slow truck. The 3.0 just doesnt have anything in it to get a good time. I managed 19 flat @ 74mph . I'm no drag car racer, so im sure it couldve been in the high eighteens with a manuel 5 speed. But anways, i raced 2 times with the same results. Last race was against my friend in his SVT Focus....he beat me by 1 car length.
Good news is, I think my dad felt sorry for me and my slow truck, so maybe he'll pitch in when it comes time to replace the engine. Can you say V8?
anyone else drag race their 3.0 or 4.0?

You may be handicapped with the altitude and temperature you are at and you probably need more track time to get experience.
A single cab should be good for a high 16. I've done it in a automatic with nothing but the underdog pulleys and I seen a manual hit mid 16''s with a homemade intake, homemade traction bars and some meaty tires.
Driver skill plays a lot in the factor. I took my mach 1 out there and another guy had a mach 1. Both were stock and he kept running about 4/10's faster than me.

i have no idea how you other guys were getting 16's with an auto 3.0...i mean even if i had a perfect reaction time it would still be 18.5...as my rt was .5 something....its not like i can make the automatic tranny any faster
btw, i got tons of compliments on how nice my truck looked...haha, now if only it was fast too...im not too worried, im workin towards an engine swap

60 foot times are bad, also in the eight it shows u at 12.4 I was runnin high 9's in my 88 ex cab 2.9 ranger. How many miles on the truck, might need a good tune up.
Edit: just looked at ur signature, u should be running way lower, do you have a tuner, if not the mods might be hurtin u a little.

that 60 tells all. You should be about 2.4. Your probably spinning and maybe don't know it. I have found that every tenth saved on the 60 ft gains 2/10's on the total run. You list 18" wheels. They weight of those could be dragging you down. Weight at the wheels hurts more than say a sub box.
