improving 300 I6 performance
Howdy, folks. I very much like my '95 F150 4X4 XLT, but I wish that its 300 cu. in. in-line 6 cylinder engine had more power. What is the best route to take to accomplish this? I want to get the best "bang for the buck", i.e. use the lowest-cost modifications to get the greatest power increase?
The truck is in great shape, with only about 60,000 miles. I'm hoping for some easy, bolt-on modifications, ideally. Thanks much for your advice.

The head is pretty choked up, exhaust manifolds aren't that great, intake isn't that great, etc. There are some cams for them, but I don't know how much they cost. Unfortunately performance parts for the 300 are kind of limited, but they do exist.
It's not like a 302 where you can get a $150 cam, $20 gasket kit and get +35HP
