Possibly try a K&N airfilter and dual exhaust. This combo should help you out some in both power and MPG.

After that (or even before) talk to Mike Troyer. He is the SuperChips Distributor. You can read all about it in the performance chips forum. It sounds like the SuperChip is THE way to increase performance. I wish I had one.

A superchip from Mike is definitely the way to go for power...only problem is Premium fuel is extremely expensive all over the country right now. That is one of the primary reasons I am holding off for now. $1.55 *or more* per gallon is a bit expensive for my gas-oholic!!
