Good luck, that engine is a Pooch..

You would get better results by installing lower gears. Like 456

I think thats the same engine in the ford probe. You could do a custom grind cam and also get you a turbo mant and put a small turbo on it also.

The easiest reliable method is to save for a new vehicle. Aftermarket crap doesn't give anything but continue to take your money. If your ego needs stroking by having a truck which is better than your friends, buy a louder horn for it.
