Smile Help! Need more power/torque

I've decided to keep my '94 2.3L until they start serving Ice-tea in hell, or untill the Mustang is paid for.

What are some mods I can make, or buy, to get a bit closer to a V-6 feel in power and torque?? My main reason for the need in power is to haul the 17' Bass-Tracker around, without having to get out and push just to get it up a hill.

there isnt much hope for the 2.3L, you'll never get it to feel like a v6.

Rebuild, find a low miles motor, or swap for a truck with lower miles. I"m not sure what else to say; noticable horsepower costs money.

What about just taking it in for a tune-up?? I guess things like new seals, plugs, valve cleaning, etc. I'm sure there's more but what??
