I think even with NA it might have similar performance as a regular 240, though this is all estimation. The gear ratios in the T5 I'm using and the astro 3.71 rear end are all slighty more advantageous than the stock mb ratios also.

I understand your love for the Astro. My mom bought hers brand new in 1996 from a now closed Chevy dealer in Miami (while I was still in High School it was my car to borrow before I bought my Bronco) and it is STILL her daily driver. That car has been from Key West to Maine and out to Yellowstone. Last time I drove it which was about 2 years ago now it had about 350k miles on it. Still runs pretty good too.
