with the tire size you have, and probably having 3.08 or 3.55 gearing, i think a gear swap is the best bet to restore the kick in the pants.

1. Regear-3.73
2. Cat-back exhaust
3. Swap in 19# injectors rather than the stock 16#/hr. units--also requires an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and a fuel pressure guage.
