2008 Tacoma PreRunner DC with TSS Package

Borla exhaust system, Sirius Satellite Radio, Chrome package, Trailer Hitch, Clazzio Leather seat covers, TSS badging, Anytime on fog lights mod, Daytime driving lights mod, Dual backseat DVD players w/monitors, 3rd Brake Light "TSS" mod, Bed pocket lights mod, Seat belt chime mod, Bed storage compartment auxillary outlet mod, Shorty antenna, Armor Lid Tonneau Cover, Line of Fire tailgate light

Is there any way to upgrade the horse power of a standard PreRunner V6? I have the Borla air filter & exhaust already. Is there a chip I can add? Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Dale

I hate to say it, but forced induction is the most cost effective way

Thanks Ridingontrd, but I can not quite afford that right now. I was looking for something a little cheaper. Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Anymore?

Anything you do without forced induction is going to have a very high Cost to HP ratio. The mos you could get from mods won't reach 25 HP and that would be over a grand of modifications
