That's awsome about the mileage. I get excited about that too, I average 30 with my GA, but I don't drive it hard, want to keep the trans as long as I can. Already have 171,000 on it, don't want to push it.
I'm interested to see the outcome of your build, as far as I know nobody has done that much to an N/A build.
Just in case anyone was wondering about the harsh driving in a ranger, here's why It's soooooo fun.

That's my cousins '86 ranger, Thunderbird turbo coupe 2.3 ported head, cam, ported custom intake, bigger turbo(dont recall the size) 100 shot of nitrous and a 3.73 8.8 locker rear end. Very fun little thing, runs at 22psi.
