Any ideas on how to squeeze some additional mileage and performance
from my 2002 Express conversion van? It has the 5.0l, and I'm just
looking for a little more performance in acceleration especially.
It's been mostly garaged and used only for long highway trips, but I
have started to drive it on a daily basis and it's lack of zeal around
town is driving me a bit crazy.
Thanks,
Jeff |

The quickest and most effective way to get more power is to open up
the exhaust system. Assuming it's single exhaust now, putting a dual
exhaust system on it with slightly louder mufflers will likely get you
around 20 more hp. There are no other easy, relatively inexpensive,
tweaks. |

Opening up the exhaust will help once its rolling, but will hurt the bottom
end
torque, which is what he is looking for.
