Good suggestions so far, except for the 440 talk, those guys must not have seen the part about the budget.

Anyway, changing the gears to 3;55 or 3:91, probably would help wake it up, but that's not happening. I'd say 90% of my driving is on the highway.
I live in a small town, and although driving around town with 3:91's would be fun, driving around town in Lyons takes about 5 minutes max.

It I want to go do something I either have to hit the highway for 15 miles to Boulder, or 12 miles to Longmont. I'm not going to do that with the engine screaming along at 3000rpm. So until I get an overdrive, steeper gears are out.
