There is not much you can do economically. Camshaft, headers and cylinder heads will result in a moderate gain. Supercharger or turbo charger will cost thousands of dollars, require dyno tuning and custom fabrication. Perhaps trade it for a truck with a larger engine or get a diesel.
how much money do you want to spend? .easy to change air intake system..then exhaust.....put a Vortech blower kit on it !
as i said there are kits made for these..that are plug and play...
or add a 125hp shot of nos...$300.00
yes i said that... but he said>How can I get a big bump in HP ..
