I have to say I agree with 1984 F-150's original post. Yeah, it's a truck and yeah, it's heavy. But I've been driving mini-vans for so long that occassionally I want to hit the gas and smell some rubber. I don't want to have to buy a racer car, I just want to know I can get "a little scratch" - as we used to say when I was a kid - every once in a while. Doesn't seem like too much to ask!
I'm with you 1984 F-150 guy - go drop some cash in and remember the good old days whenever you want!

I think the biggest thing I noticed was the lack of noise. But yes, I did notice a pretty big improvement in the acceleration dept. I do 85% city driving, so my mpg's suck anyhow (and it seems that I have been running around with the backseat full of tools for 8 months now), I don't know that it made much diff in mpg's. Maybe 1 if lucky.
I have thought of doing the same thing to the wife's '05 Explorer, but it is going to take a completely different setup, probably a single 18" fan from a Mark VIII, and a custom fab'd shroud.
