You can't. Flat out. If you mean 1hp = 99 cents.. you plan to spend $99 bucks and get 100hp..lol

Now if you're realistic, spend 500-1000 bucks and get a noticable amount. Or if possible, buy a new motor. They have 5.0 v8's pushing 340hp and a little over 400lbs tq. Thats power you see in new pickups on the market..which in your bronco, will make a world of difference..all starting around 4k for a new motor

CAI (cold air intake), exhaust, 31" tires, sea-foam via brake booster, headers.

Alone with the exhaust on my truck (flowmaster 40 series with stock tubes) I noticed a good increase of power. That's the only "power" mod I have on my Bronco. It put a smile on my face when I drove away from the exhaust place!

My exhaust guy said to put in place a high-flow cat with a 3" tube going into the flowmaster, with 2.5" tubes going out.

There's a neat cheap CAI mod youc an do.. a standard chevy K&N air filter ($20 somethin bucks) and a small cut of PVC pipe and it bolts right up to your stock two tube intake hose. Heck of a lot cheaper than the whole kit. I forget the exact details..but it's a K&N for a chevy truck of some sort. This filter is a direct filter sold at any autopart store or walmart. Just need to google and search around for the part number

There is no such thing. Adding horse power costs no matter how you look at it. There are things that can be done to make an engine more efficient and deliver more of what it develops to the rear wheels but that also costs.

Good luck,
