    Do you have exhaust on it yet? The LT's I put on my 5.0 made a huge difference, well judging by my feel anyway. Also do the timing bump ignition upgrade, that made a difference powerwise and better MPGs.

    EDIT: heres the timing bump link http://fullsizebronco.com/forum/show...ht=timing+bump

    I wanna do them on my new one too but I think it'll take a lot more work on an '02 4x4 than on the ol '88. One day I'll man up an do it but not until I get a pipe bender and get my welding skills a touch better.
