Default Increase HP and Proformance for 2000 Ranger 4 cylinder 2.5ltr

Hello all I currently have a 2000 4 cylinder 2 5 liter. I wanted to know if any one had any suggestions on how I can increase horse power and Proformance. I've seen chips but I do not know much about them or if they are worth the money. Thank you in advance for your help.

30-40 horsepower is will cost you about 2000 dollars because you will need a turbo with a manifold, forged pistons, and then you have to have a tune.

If money isn't a concern, buy a 2015 F150 Ecoboost.
