All you need is a chip, open air induction and a freeflowing exhaust and you might be suprised at the gain in power you will get. I have been in my buddies 98 X V-8 with those mods mentioned above and Holy Christ what a difference it maid!
I agree that the 5.0L X's are a little doggish but it doesn't take much to open them up to let it breathe better. I'm Thinking of those mods for my 97 Eddie Bauer 5.0L when I'm done with my Ranger. The power is there in the V-8 X's waiting to be unleashed, it's up to you on how much more power you want.
