no low end

[stepside454]

hello everyone, new to the group here, looks interesting.
We recently bought a 99 MS 4WD, so far we love everything about it, except one thing, it has no low end power. it really has to work to get up to speed, cant really pull out into traffic without making sure you have plenty of room, or else you end up making people have to slow down till you get it cranked up.
Compared to th Jimmy we had , overall we love it, cept I miss the power of the 4.3, understandibly it had more torque, & I did know this when we bought the MS.
What are some things that can be done to my 3.0 to help its miserably slow acceleration. John

Here's a free HP boost for ya:

Turn off your A/C when you're accelerating.

Turn it back on when you're cruising. The acceleration is much smoother when you turn it off.

I'm in the same boat as you stepside. I used to have a blazer but traded for an ms because the blazer was a pos. The only thing I miss is the 4.3, the ms is so underpowered sometimes I want to cry . I'm debating about selling it and getting a sports car.

Iv'e got both. Keep the montero and get a sports car for the weekends.
