: Honestly...it would be cheaper just to go out and buy a truck with the
: V8....these front-to-back swaps are FAR from cheap...TRUST ME!

I had kinda figured that. But it didn't hurt to ask. ;)

Well, another truck is out of the questions as far as the
budget goes 'til I get out of college. So I guess I now
ask the question, what would it take to make my I4 Dak
less anemic? I don't like not being able to merge because
I can't get up to speed fast enough, it's very frustrating.

Obviously I'll never be racing anything and winning [well,
maybe Geo Metros, Festivas, 4-door Escort hatchbacks, etc],
but the I4 is a *dog.* [At least it is in the Dakota which
is not what I would call a featherweight.]

Things I have planned [in the back of my mind]:

MSD 6A
K&N or equivalent intake thingie
Maybe an LSD? Would it even be worth it?

What else is there folks?

Thanks.
