    1. Does the stock head unit have pre-outs? If so an amp should be available on craigslist for not too much
    2. The only sure fire way I know of to increase horsepower substantially at elevation is forced induction. Maybe save up for the SC?
    3. How is Leadville? I've always wanted to check out the highest city in the country. Do they salt the roads like crazy?

    they will get plenty loud enough. try changing the asl setting on the radio to mid or high.

    i use mine on low and it can blow my ears off if i turn it up. maybe yours is set to off?

    Yeah, the only real option you have to improve performance is forced induction. By far, the easiest way to do that would be the TRD supercharger.

    Leadville is a great place!
