ive heard some rangers with just a good muffler (flowmaster or something like that) and they sound really good.

a cam is a good bit of work. you need lifters to match it. and it still wont have a great sound without a good muffler and exhaust system

How much more fuel do you want to burn?

If you are rebuilding your engine, and want to Bling the truck to sound like something you saw on TV, go the whole route,,cam ..lifters, 3 angle valve seats..nice injectors, good fuel pump with adjustable pressure..a nice header system with a good SS exhaust system..nice..It will only set you back about $7500..but it will make you happy..if done properly, your fuel mileage would only drop about 20% or so..and ot will sound different..just like TV..:-)
