More power out of my 2.7

Does any one have any ideas about how i can get my 2.7 to open up a bit. I am thinking about going with a header system but wanted some ideas before i start this project.

what are the pros and cons of a turbo and how much will that cost? is it an easy instalation.

 

Not cheap, and not easy.

It falls under "if you have to ask, you should not do it"

You have a 10 year old truck with a 4 cylinder engine.
It's not a race truck and never will be.

 

the turbo isnt a extremely hard install by any means. But if you have to ask you shouldnt get into it. LCEngineering makes a kit for it.

well i dont think i will go with a turbo. but does any one have headers installed? What kind of differences will i see?

 

Minor.
It will sound better if you are just worried that it sounds like a Hoover, but any power increase will need a dyno to actually measure.

Turbocharger or supercharger is the only thing that's going to show an improvement on the butt dyno.

 

Alright Rich thanks for the help i guese i should just accept the fact that i got a 2.7 and shouldnt expect to much out of it.

 

Regear your diffs could be a solution if you're just looking for better acceleration or going up in tire size. Costs ~$1k though

 

Ok ill look into it Do you think its a possiblility that i have an exhaust leak? i dont see any carbon build up around the manifold though.

 

Going up in tire size will hurt acceleration.
Lower gears will help (same as smaller tires).
