Do a search on 3.0 V6 or 3vze and more power. You'll see that a lot of folks have tried, are trying, and the concensus seems to be....

An engine swap.

What is it currently geared at? if you know what your axle code it is I could tell you.
Mine was G254 so it came with 4.56's.
I am probably gonna just throw in 4.88's since I know someoene locally that has a set axles with them already installed for cheap.

Original BRAKES? Holy cow that's amazing. Anyhow, gears are the answer. It's the single most efficient way to make power. You'd have to have 3x the horsepower to get what you can get with gears. Try 4.88s.
