Well, I figured it's time to start another one of these threads. I know that there will be a lot of opinions, but I'm curious as to the gurus' best thoughts on where my money should go next for the bronco.
I am hoping to make this bronco a hoot to drive but don't want to modify the hood if I can help it.
Right now the bronco has a stock 96 351w roller cam (a remanufacturing job from Tristar engines), stock cam, stock heads.
2.5" ceramic headers from Broncohut, 2-into-1 exhaust with cutout and walker quiet flow;
MSD electronic distributor - springs to fully open at 2000rpm;
650cfm edelbrock 4-barrel; Edelbrock performer air intake manifold.
nv3550 transmission and 4.11 gears. 32" BFG AT2
The bronco is torquey off the line but winds out at about 5-10mph, which makes 2nd better to start in, but the torque really isn't there to start in 2nd all the time.
I am considering going with some Twisted Wedge 170s with a 58cc combustion chamber to bump up my compression ratio and a new cam. I am wondering if this will be a noticeable enough change to justify the cost.
Any thoughts appreciated!
