Hi Mike,
What gears do you have? If you don't already have them, 3.92's or 4.10's
would help wake up your 318. Also, get rid of the round air cleaner and get
a K&N Gen II, or another kit that will get some colder air into the engine.
Hot air from under the hood really made my truck sluggish, was great when
the engine was cold, though. :-)
