Quickest easiest thing to do is slap a K+N air filter on it , And a complete tune up .  :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Crane makes a kit to be able to bolt roller rockers onto your heads it cost $80 bucks and jegs sells it . Then you can put whatever roller rockers you want on it if its fuel injected Id stay with the 1.6 rockers 1.7 will give it more lift and the computer will probably not be able to compensate . I used comp cams pro magnum rollers on mine with that kit cost about $380 :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I agree with Blade's suggestions, too. You can add a truck/RV cam, but if you get too "radical" with any internal mods it will mess with the stock computer. You may need to upgrade the ECM or have it re-programmed if you start doing alot of changes to the insides. IF you have more airflow coming into the engine, you can increase it going out with a custom exhaust. Also, consider adding a shift kit to the transmission.

What size tires do you have on it? What is your differential gear ratio? If you have oversized tires without changing the gear ratio in the differential to compensate for it, the truck wll be a power dog.

Just a possible cause of poor power performace.

Good luck,
