What is the best way to get more horsepower without spending a lot of money

 

Nothing but a Supercharger will do it. Not an aftermarket noise maker Cold Air Intake, nor an aftermarket exhaust.

 

How much more?

 

50-100 hp

 

Supercharger as stated before, or turbo kit. But you gotta pay to play. Cheap isn't good and good isn't cheap!

 

No way your getting that without forced induction. Magnuson supercharger or URD supercharger. First provides more low-mid power, second more mid-top end power. Neither are cheap.

 

Buy a Tundra

 

Or pray this may help some...

It won't get you 50-100 hp

 

110 octane+ 4 bottles of NOS octane booster.... don't forget to remove your air filter for max power.

 

In a 2005? How many miles? Remove your seats, air conditioning, spare tire and jack, etc.

 

True...but the OP said “and not cost a lot of money”

This possible tuner option is 10x cheaper than adding a supercharger.

 

- URD intake
- URD headers
- URD 3” Exhaust
- UCON EMS with a good tune
- P-Rated tires

Should make your truck more fun!

I had every bolt on my X-Runner, instead of the URD headers, had the DOUG THORLEY long tube headers and also had the URD MAF calibrator and let me tell you, it really woke up the truck!

 

This doesn't cost a lot right?

 

Cheaper than a supercharger lol! Then it gives you some time save up for a MAGNUSON supercharger.

 

Depends on what the OP means by 'a lot'. Certainly this would be less than a SC setup. With less results too.

If the OP is thinking of cost as just an OOP number, that's kind of thing. If he's thinking like a builder, in $/HP gained, the package mentioned will be pretty darn high.

And it didn't get him 50+ HP either.

 

Internet sarcasm Bill

 

I kid I kid

 

So I don’t get the point of joining a forum and making posts then never responding. This thread will probably reach multiple pages just like OP’s other post about 110 octane. A bunch of people will post without even reading the thread and seeing the OP hasn’t responded. What a waste of time.

And I know the OP has responded once here but you get what I’m saying.
