I was wondering what is the best mod to do to the motor and if half shafting the throttle body helps at all.

Turbo Its relatively cheap when u get turbo rods and pistons and such out of a 2.3t motor there's a price thread on trf that shows everything needed

Thank u guys so much. I've been wanting to do stuff to the motor and the aluminum head with a port and polish and rods and valves sounds awesome. That is more down my alley on what I was looking for. Umm one more question I have 14in rims on my truck that's way to small right? What would be the best size to choose? Just a reminder I swapped the diff to 3.73 gears.

17's look good IMO. some mustang bullits, or cobra wheels look very good on rangers.
