Thumbs up i6 power upgrades

1992 i6 needs more power . What upgrades can i make to it ? I am running 3.55 gears in my 8.8 rear and 3.55 in my dana 44 front ifs. Also my trans acts like it is slipping cause when i accelerate my engine wraps up then i let off the gas and it kicks into the next gear. Should i get my tranny rebuilt or could it be something simmple?

Question

my 88 i6 does the same thing, from 2nd to 3rd it just goes to neutral for a second then into 3rd. but if you dont care what your truck sounds like, flowmaster makes an american thunder series cat back system, but that might sound bad on a i6, Not sure how that would sound, i have a small exhaust leak and it sounds like a little honda with a coffee can muffler if you listen close enough. ALso flex-a-lite cooling fans., they deliver 5,500 cfm of air and according to my summit truck style maggazine make up to 30 horses, but i dont know about that. thats all i can think of right off the bat.
