Extra power
So I have a 91 extra cad sr5 4x4 with a 93 22re. I use it as a daily driver but I wouldn't mind a little bit of extra power. What's the best and most effective way to gain a little horsepower while not loseing gas mileage? A cool air intake? Or something along those lines?

Just regular tune-ups and normal maintenance, some guys here like a little cam, maybe a better head. And your truck comes stock with a cold air intake. Sucks outside air around the headlight. A "cold" air intake sucks hot under hood air, it just has a bigger element, so less resistance. Just love it the way it is, reliable.

Start drafting on the highway.
Often times, the best way to get better MPGs is to change your driving habits. Less skinny pedal, more MPGs.
Check out these guys.. they make lots of go fast parts.

270/430 cam from engnbldr likes when you rev the truck hard.. I wouldn't say anything that was done to my motor has made it roast the tires.. it just has more power through the rpm range and I don't need to down shift anymore..
engnbldr head, cam, larger valves, lce header, egr block off plates, cone filter in the engine bay, 10.0:1 compression ratio, 2.25" exhaust with no resonator/cat/etc..
I wouldn't recommend anyone build a 22re ... just go 3rz swap with some mild bolt ons and call it a day. Before everything I got 22mpg pretty reliably, now I'm at 19 or so.. Leave the 22re alone and enjoy it not giving you grief.

You could change to a really slick synthetic engine oil, adjust the valves to spec. Change the trans fluids to a modern synthetic as well, and change all the filters. change to a larger ignition coil & do a full tune up.
After that it starts to get expensive, headers, overbore TB, CD Ignition, camshaft, chain & guides, head work (LCE ? 22RE Performance).
