Only way is to blow more air into it. S/C or T/C will give you more power.

Everything else is snake oil.

A tune will increase the power a little. That's the only thing that works without spending tons of money. "cold air intakes" do little or nothing to increase hp. The next most noticeable change in performance but not hp would be a lower diff gear.

Be cheaper in the long run to buy a newer truck with the ecoboost or coyote.
