Performance Mods
I have a '99 Ranger XLT 3.0L 5-SPD. I really want to beef up the motor, without doing too much to void the warranty or break the bank. I have heard about performance chips, K&N Fuel Injection Performance Kits, and thought about a cat-back system (maybe Borla or Gibson?) What would you recommend doing to gain some torque and HP? Also I am looking for someone that sells a Rollbar for my truck. It is a stepside and major distributors don't seem to be interested in producing them for my truck. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!

Matthew: Get a Gibson cat-back exhaust system, in stainless if you can afford it. Get whichever system fits your original hangers, and go for a ride to a muffler shop (with a $20 bill in your pocket so you can make a quick cash deal with the welder). You will feel a big seat-of-the-pants kick with this mod, and better mileage to boot.
Stay away from any chip made by JET, their products and tech support suck. A K&N replacement panel filter is a good investment from a durability standpoint, but I have my doubts about the "HP Increase" claims as the only way they could possibly do that is by revving the wee out of a motor. Beware any system that sucks air from inside the engine compartment, that is HOT air, not COLD air, which is what is needed to make horsepower.
