Major Mods. Probably cheaper to trade it in for a Hemi. that will gain you an instant 100 horsepower.

Otherwise you would need cams , exhaust, Electric fans, throttle body, Underdrive pully, and probably a good nitrous system to get 100 horses out of a 4.7.

Or forced induction. If you have the money, don't give up on the 4.7L. It does have plenty of potential. You just need the money...

A cheap way to have better performance is by simply getting a K&N air filter. Check out our vendors for them.
