Default Need more power... And help

Car specs. 2003 dodge stratus 2.4l 4 cylinder.
So the only reason I have this car is because my new 2013 ram 2500 gets an average of 9.5 mpg. Everyday when I come back from work I have to go from a stand still on to the freeway to 70 mph, up hill. And on a couple different occasions I've come close to being the radiator ornament of a semi. So what I'm getting at is, what can I do to increase the acceleration and power of my car?

That all depends on if you have the Coupe (Mitsubishi Eclipse), or Sedan (Dodge/Chrysler design).

If you've got the Coupe, most of the Eclipse parts will bolt on. Sedan, pretty much out of luck.

If you have the time, know-how and money, everything from the engine of the Lancer Evolution fits. Instead of the 2.0 4g63, you could have a 2.4L DOHC turbo. ( you have the 4G64)
