Default Need advice on how to get power out this pos

I need some love and advice on how I can get more power out of my 3.7 power tech I know most you're going to say why don't you just put a 4.7 in it well I have a 4.7 that I'm rebuilding with the wiring harness but I'm not going to put it in until this motor goes and I kind of want to experiment with the V6 so somebody give me some pointers here already got cold air intake I'm about to have a chip from dragonworks come in I installed a Ram air made it home

The CAI does nothing but add looks and noise. You'd be better off using a tuner from a reputable company rather tha a chip (if there is a tuner for the 3.7). Forced induction will give you what you want but it aint cheap. Power gains by bolt on external accessories will be negligable. Gearing would help as well. Take a look at the threads in this section about other things you can do.

Hope you like custom everything ($$), as there is even less (meaning zero) aftermarket/performance stuff for the 3.7 than there is for the 4.7 lol.
