Post quick horsepower

The first thing you can do, but it will cost a little. Put a set of good headers on it. If you need more power (I don't know what size tires you have on), but going with a smaller tire will give you more power for pulling. These aren't free but, they are easy.

Thats my story, and I'm stickin to it.
