Need more horsepower

Mill your head to increase compression, cam it out, or tune it with a standalone or tuner.

Turbo is an option, so is a blower, but now you're into $$$.

5.0 swap is a good option.

I'm at the same point with my 1996 2.3. Odds are ill leave it alone and be frustrated.

Just to check, what gears are in it?

It came from the factory with a cold air intake. Electric fan is the best idea in this list. But it's not a miracle drug.

yes factory is a cold air style, i feel you still gain something by eliminating the stock flexible tubing, i coubled mine together out of peices from old vehicles/ leftover parts from cold air kits, along with a few plumbing no-hub bands, at very least it sounds better.
