Well you can do the ISR mod, EGR delete and a K&N drop in filter since your on a budget...those are the only three cheap mods i can think of.

Search please. The truck has plenty of power for a trail rig. If you want to out accelerate your punk friends with Mustangs, its not going to be cheap or reliable.

If you speed and power, its not cheap and you have to do an engine swap.

Check out the Toyota 3.4L V6, small block Chevy, both are popular swaps. But not cheap.
