How can I get more power out of my 1998 Dodge Dakota's V6 engine?

u need either more air or more fuel.. u cant do much if you just wanna do it cheap without a turbo or something basically just the intake and exhaust,. cant do much else without more money

Three things to improve your engine performance without spending your entire life savings... 1. Install a low restriction air filter like a K&N cold air intake system. 2. Install a good free-flowing exhaust, like a Flowmaster exhaust system. 3. Recalibrate or replace your ECM computer chip for better power.

Intake, full exhaust, pulley kit, larger throttle body, port/polished heads, cams, ecu/fuel reprogram, (solid motor mounts) etc. There are many of things you can do to gain power in a naturally aspirated engine, keep searching an decide how much increase in Hp you want to achieve. To see major gains, a engine swap, turbo, sds(supercharge drive system) or nitrous is required.
