It would help if you would specify what exactly you are trying to build......

What do you plan to use the truck for? What is your budget?

Why do you want more power? Do you tow/haul with your truck?

Dodge seems to be able to eek some pretty serious numbers from them..... I would think cam, heads, better intake (if available, I just don't know.) and a tune to make it all play nice together, and you could put out some respectable numbers.
