Like baddmove said, it's an multi-purpose vehicle built on a truck platform. It isn't a sports car.
In another forum where I saw this discussed, some were of the opinion that any significant gains were going to be expensive. And, from what I've gathered, you may increase horsepower, but you will also shift your peak torque to higher RPMS. In other words, you may gain high end horsepower, but you will lose some low end torque, which is said to be one of the strengths of the 2.9 L engine.
I'm not an expert on engine performance, so if someone knows of ways to increase hp without cutting low end torque, speak up. It jsut appears that there is a trad off in getting those higher numbers.
