Takes big torque to move a pickup and it takes big inches to get big torque.... Can get some improvement in aero by lowering the truck, keep the fugly truck mirrors off the side, rolled pan on the front, etc. Also need to get some weight in the rear, fuel tank and battery are the easiest to do. Those leaf springs and staggered shocks in the rear aren't going to do it!!! Leafs are ok, need some housing floaters and 32" ladder bars for a better hook. Another consideration would be some engine setback, not much room to go back without some extensive firewall mods, but it can be done. Can you beat the Mustang??? Sure, but it's gonna put a bad hurt on your checkbook to do it!
