Getting more low end torque for 2009 4.0L?

[Droidac]

Hey, does anyone have some suggestions for some good mod's for getting a bit more low end torque? I've got an '09 ranger with the 4.0 and a 5 speed, and find it can be a bit sluggish off the line. Obviously, I can rev it higher when starting out, but I don't want to beat up my clutch. Most mod's out there really only increase high rpm horsepower, but that's not what I'm looking for.

Any advice? Thanks!

what gears are in the axles? lower gears will get you going a little quicker. also might want to think about a RV type cam... more torque in the low-mid rpm range. just a couple of thoughts.

Re-gear to a shorter ratio
Turbo
Stroker
Swapping cam(s[remember it's a SOHC]) won't increase low-end torque, they might help make more torque but it will always be higher in the powerband...

A low restriction exhaust system. I use a single Magnaflow with dual in/dual out pipes, 2.25in id. Caution: when I spoke with a Magnaflow tech he warned to stay with a smaller diameter piping for increased exhaust velocity and better low end torque. With a single pipe 2.5 is okay.
