Default 1996 v6

Hey finally getting around to modding my v6 a little bit. I know it'll never be a race truck but still a little extra pep and power would be nice

I installed a Throttle body off of a 1995 5.2L. I sometimes think i can feel a difference but other times i dont. Could this be that i still have a throttle body spacer made for the v6 throttle body? Should i run it without the throttle body spacer?

Also was reading about the kegger mod, had a parts motor laying around so i removed the intake manifold, will this kegger mod still work for the v6?

Give me some other ideas for a few modifications.

If you really want to get your moneys worth out of modifications, then find your missing 2 cylinder (i.e. swap in a 318 or 360 v8), cause the amount of money it would take to put in a cam, rockers, headers, etc., you'd have a v8 swap done. The gas milage difference between the 2 is small and the power difference between them is huge. But, if you really have your heart set on that little v6, then find a set of headers and do the kegger mod on the intake, and with your v8 throttle body it should make a difference. Any mods past that just aren't worth it in my opinion.
