Swap in a V8 maybe?

I don't know much about the newer 4-bangers, but it seems to me that, the better any engine can breathe, the more ponies it can potentially put out. Have you researched any kind of possible exhaust upgrades that would work together with your chips and intakes?

Take your Ranger to your favorite Ford Dealer and trade it in for a Mustang with a V6.

You can't make a silk purse out of a pig's ear.
