Default Time to start modding the 03 Ranger 4.0L

I just bought an 03 Ford Ranger 4.0L for a 3rd vehicle. Wifey wanted something to be able to take to get plants etc. It goes pretty damn good. I'm thinking of doing some minor mods though, maybe a tune.

Opinions? Suggestions? How about I put my whipple in there somehow, lol.

Afriend of mine had one of those and he installed a Gibson catback that sounded pretty good. Do that and a cold air intake for starters.

i was looking at a s10 zr2. i didn't like it nearly as much as the ranger. the ranger was much nicer. and the ranger had more leg room.
