Performance Mods

I have a '99 Ranger XLT 3.0L 4x4 5-spd Ext. Cab. with 15x7 rims. I want to know what performance mods can be done to my truck. I have heard about performance chips, but what do they do? Also, call me crazy, but I LOVE the sound of geardrive. I want to change out my timing chain and gears for a Pete Jackson or Dynagear. Anyone know who and where to get it? I have researched Borla exhaust and K&N FIPK, but don't have any numbers as far as performance improvements. Anyone know what I can expect? I appreciate any comments on this matter. THANKS!!!

Yup, intake and exhaust. It is hard to say hp increases since every truck is different, but that will definately get your truck flowing better. Let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything I can help you with.
