If you want better acceleration maybe you should get what I had several years ago. I had a 1983 Ford Ranger with a 255 V8 with an automatic, and dual exhaust. Thatis what they should have come out with form the factory. That was a truck, and a blast to drive. Wish I wasn't so stunned and sold it. All it needed was a higher speed rear end ratio put in it. Even with the lower speed rearend I still got mid 20's gor gas mileage.
