More horsepower!

Not to be a smart ****, but why dont you try starting out with a 5.6 ltr truck... Im sure it would be cheaper than dumping it in a 4.2, you can only polish a terd so much ya know....

Gears are less that $1000 for the rear and will multiply torque for a very real performance gain.

But the decision to regear depends on what gears you currentle have and tire size.
