Well the easiet way to feel more low end power is to swap youre gearing to something stouter (in this case 4.10s). Although you wont gain any power, the mechanical advantage provided by lower gears will make that truck jump off the line, or ease into traffic with a trailer in tow, etc.. Is the EB a bronco, or a truck? I also see that you have a JET chip. Has that done anything for you? I have heard nothing but bad news about them (ie dont make power, and can actually make you make LESS power). Is mileage a concern? Is this a daily driver?

another way to get low end power is to get a bbk throttle body and a edelbrock 5.8L truck intake as others said i would get a gear change then go from there

I'm on the same page as you. I believe i had a superchip installed, instead of the Jetship, but other than that we're on the same page. I'm happy though. Not too big Hp change last time I dyno (24Hp increase at rear wheel, 32Hp at the engine). But that was before the Intake Manifold and tranny/oil cooler additions. I'm thinking of swaping the fan to an electric one. The good thing about it all is that most of the little changes I can put them on a brand new 302 offered by Ford (rated at 340Hp).

correct me if im wrong but this is just me that heavy of a truck your going to need about 500-600 to make it fast about 7 to 800hp to get u up in the 12's u no weight to horse power ratio. if u got an efi engine your going to need mass air kit. or all those mods wont work well.

Please refrain from using the caps lock for youre posts. Was this bronco purchased to compete with mustangs? Its just not going to happen. Do you have a budget in mind? To smoke the tires off, 4.10s and a supercharger = smoke!. If you give us some numbers we can work off, you might get some more direct information.
