'79, '90, '96 bronco man myself - the '79 I did the headers, dual freeflow exhaust, Edelbrock intake, & Holley 4-barrel (351 V8) - stomped on it once at 65mph to get away from an 18-wheeler on my bumper (I295 in NJ) - Well the 4-barrel kicked in and it was like dropping into warp-drive - by the time I had gotten over the shock, the speedometer had wound completely around to 30mph (no pegs on the speedo back then) AND it was still pulling - when I thought to look back, the 18-wheeler had disappeared far, far behind me - that was back when the national speed limit was 55 and the speedos only went to 80 - ran Dunlop Radial Rovers which ran very quiet for an aggressive tread & were good in snow (back when NJ actually got snow)
