The biggest upgrade you could do, would be to swap in a 4.0, or 5.0. There isn't alot out there for the 2.9, I'm sorry to say, and having an auto tranny won't help. I a'm sure there are some things you can do, I just don't know what, because of lack of experience with this motor. Maybe somebody will know, or try the v-6 forum further down. Good luck in your search.

Also check over at ranger power sports, they deal more extensively with performance, and have a 2.9 section.
