need more horse power
Alight, I have a nice 97 Dodge Dakota 5.2 liter. I already did a cold air intake have exhaust headers on order and I already have a magnaflow exhaust. is there anything I can do without tearing into the motor too much to gain more horsepower.. Or should I get a programmer for it? basically aside from a supercharger or turbo kit is there anything else I can do to put this motor its full potential?

not sure why using the roller rockers 1.7 ratio not jumped on more often. You would also want a larger throttle body (52mm +) and should do the plenum plate fix at this time. Some modify, cut up the inside of their ' turtle ' intake here also.
Being 4x4 and if your wanting low end torque consider dual ( since you have headers ) 2.75" into a single 3" exhaust.
Then i would recommend a tune, about where i am at...

2 best options to help out with power with what you have now is gonna be a throttle body and programmer. I had a SCT tuned by hemifeaver on my 5.2 and it was awesome! Def noticeable gains. Even going from 4,800 wot shift to 5,200 was a big improvement. Gear swap will help but imo the money you spend on that gains you very little for a dd. Id rather take that money and put it into the engine and trans.
