Simple things dont add performace. You can put a cam in it, duraspark it, bigger carb, or do what I did, put a TBI system on it (really had on choice or it wouldnt run).

Rangers aren't power vehicles. You want the performance of a full size truck then get one of those. If you want a performance car get one of those. The ranger is an economical truck.
