[smart_guy2046]

look at the tag on the rear axle, you probably have 3.08 gears in it, swap in an axle with something lower (3.45 or 3.73 are easy to find and a good upgrade over the crappy 3.08's, gets the engine more in the power band. and if you have a tach, watch it and keep the revs up, the 2.3 isn't as bad when you drive at higher rpm...

also, if you put the 4 missing cylinders back on it gets a lot more powerful
