I think the only thing that'd speed you up is being 2wd compared to 4wd.

that is my idea right know for this truck. soon i am looking at a 93 2wd ranger just down the road from me. but it will be a big project before it hits the streets because there is going to be a motor swap involved. not quite sure what motor im going with, but it is going to be a V8 and possibly supercharged.

ok well thats on a whole new topic. how hard would it be to put a V8 in my truck? i was thinking about that, but the emmissions test in new york is very strict, if i swap in the V8 i have to change all the wiring harnesses and the computer, not quite sure how hard that is but ive heard from some people that its tough. some thought and ideas on this please!
