I need more horsepower for my pickup

I've got a flowmaster muffler on it, I doubt that I will install headers.

As for more air.... what specific products would you recommend to achieve this? There are so many out there. Do those vortex air things work as advertised?

As for adding a chip to it... could you point me in the right direction?

I'd bet if you check the book that came with the trailer, it suggests towing at no more than 60 MPH anyways. there's not really anything you can do other than putting a blower on it that will give you a significant enough gain to be worth trying, IMHO.

Ive heard that the tornado thing does work, i want one myself just dont have the $$$ to grab one

That is the one and only thing you can do to it that WONT add power. It's total crap. Google for more opinions.

It is a hoax.

You want H.P. you gotta burn more gas per minute. It may be torque that you crave and only stroking your engine will give you something you can feel in the seat of your pants.

================ Dude the only real thing you can do to give it towing power is put a V8 in it. Sorry. Since its only used for towing consider selling it and getting something with a V8. In a towing situation I bet a V8 would get better mileage. Hell someone might want a pick-up with a V6 for better mileage, a good selling point for you ;)

What about those Airaid intake systems? Are they really capable of allowing the motor to produce more HP? Here is one I found as an example:

You'll see very little performance gain as all that's really happening is a little more air flow. Unfortunately there is more dirt flow to your motor as well. You can't really add much power to this engine with out a dramatic change like a turbo charger. That will get you some torque and horsepower.

No, it wont help you. The only way a intake or air filter could possibly help at all is at full throttle at very high RPM. Hardly anything you need to help your torque and MPG for towing. And even then it will be next to nothing.

Time for a trade in. Get a v-8 while your truck still has some turn in value! There is no replacement for displacement.

My answer is lower gearing. posi with 4.10's.

whipple supercharger or other supercharger.
