Answer
James;
HI;  well  first off a six is a six. I have heard that the intake air cleaners do boost the power.  also you can look in (jc whitney.com) also (summit racing.com) and you should find a bunch of bolt on items that will help you out a bit.  ok. a chip might help  a little bit. but lower your gas too .
