Default 1997 Rams out there- OIL LEVELS OVER 100K and performace TIPS???

hey, I have a 97 ram, 5.2 4x4..... Its got 113K on it, and I have begun to see the oil levels dip a lil bit, having to add about a quart altogether between every oil change.
Anyone else deal with losing oil in their Rams with over 100K miles?

Also, I have headers, cat back performace exhaust, K&N gen 2 CAI.... and I think my truck is still a big sluggish... anything else I can do without getting into the internal parts of the engine to get some more HP?????

What type of exhaust setup do you have...size of piping...dual out..etc? That might be hurting your performance

As far as the oil, does your engine leak it anywhere (valve cover leak is common). Is there any oil on the side of the motor or dripping beneath it? That would be the first place I'd check for loss of oil.
