    I hear ya, I keep talking myself out of saving up for the supercharger cause I will have to switch to premium fuel.

    If money were not object, I go with a Toyota V8. Assuming it would fit in a 1st gen and I could keep my manual tranny!!!!

    I wouldn't do anything... if I was going to do anything performance wise it would be on a sports car of some kind... it almost seems like a waste on a truck.

    If you just want to be unique and have a fast taco then go for it. but, i see you have a 4x4. If you have plenty of money to spend then for a 4x4 i would go for a diesel swap. If you want to have to be fast and be able to use it. trade the taco for something else.
