What’s up everyone
I have a 92 bronco with JBA headers, custom Y pipe and K&N intake.
What are you guys doing to get a little more power out of these 351s? It is struggling to push this hog thru the desert.

Gearing. With a 4 speed O/D auto, 4.56 or 4.88 gears. Gearing gives mechanical leverage, so you use the power (or lack of it) you have to better advantage.

I am going to be running 5.14 gears with 37in tires with a Manual Reverse Valve body C6 and a Stroker 408w with a Edlebrock Super Victor MPFI intake Holley Terminator X MPFI system and JBA shorty headers. I would love long tube, but the shorties will be easies with Coilover's Bypass shocks and an engine cage

Currently with gearing I am 4.10 and on 35s as far as moving thru the streets I feel like it’s good. It’s when I’m in the dirt and whoops I am bogged down.
I just want a bit more bottom end and torque to get me thru whoops.
I tried to jump devil slide in ocotillo and lost a lot of power thru the whoops.

I put AFR heads on Wilson and they made a really noticeable difference. A good exhaust system (custom by Magnaflow) also helped ton. To be fair, the previous system was cobbled together and pretty crappy.
