Default Inexpensive performance improvements

Hi my name is Zack and Iam a new member and I have a 2003 dodge ram 1500 3.7l v6 and I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas on ways to better the performance on my truck.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. (And i do have a lot of money to work with)

Anything that would give you good improvements with that engine in a Ram, would not be inexpensive unfortunately.

What are you looking for? More speed, better gas mileage, etc... ? There are always things that can be done... What type of gain are you looking for?

Sure. You can always do the CAI, exhaust stuff. That might get you a few HP, but nothing significant. I just don't think anyone is offering much for that engine really. Like all the DC engines.

well, if you have a lot of money to work with... supercharge it... unless that is a typo on your part.
