This is why I like mine as well. I'm not looking to get my front tires to lift off the ground. I'm just looking for a good amount of power to get my truck moving and do the things I want. I'm closing in on the hp/tq numbers of my brother's Bronco with a 351, but while he's doing everything he can to get his gas mileage to tip over 11, I'm frustrated because my 4bbl conversion's dropped me down to 16.
With that in mind, he, of course, could just build his motor up and leave me in the dust, but I'm not interested in huge numbers. Just nice ones.
