Talking ideas please

i'm sure you guys ain't heard this one. what can i do to add a little more kick to my 3.0? exhaust? k/n air-filter? chip? gears? new motor? haha. as most of you know this is a pukie motor but i'm sure someone has got a few more ponies out of theirs. its a pretty good motor, still running good after 82000mi. but i finally got her paid off and now its time to play. any suggestions will be much appreciated. thanks.

About the only idea that will give you more than 2-5 housepower would be to supercharge it with a Whipple Kit.

ah well

i really wasn't trying to turn 12's with it and i really don't want to hurt it so i'll probably leave it alone, maybe just some exhaust but thanks for the info. i really didn't think they made blowers for a 3.0.
