I would talk to Ranger for some advice. I think with gears you may get there for sure, but at a cost in mpg and drivability.

I doubt 11's but you are definitely ringing it out with a 12.4 and your rwhp.

What 60s now? What gears now? A4 or M6? 11s... maybe. If it is an M6, might want to do a dte brace as well and make sure you get both output shafts done to be safe (but I am an old woman ) I went from 342s to 390s and they take some getting used too. Top of first comes damn quick and the tac can not keep up, and and it will take time to keep up with the shift light.

It's an M6..3.42's (obviously), got the dte strut with it (cracked the case of the diff and tranny due to wheelhop and DONT wanna do it again..ouch!!). As for 60' i'm consistant with 1.7-1.8's...that help? Sounds like i'm in for a real treat with the 3.90's, I cant wait to drive it again! Now I just need a short throw...but maybe down the road cause after this expense i can barely afford the gas!...unless someone wants to give me theirs

100 shot will get you into the 11's if your runnin mid 12's now. Safe and inexpensive and it doesn't effect daily drivability.

on your 12.4 passes . The 3.90's will give you a greater chance at hitting the 11sec barrier. Mpg want change much under normal driving.
