Adding power to the OHV?

Adding power to the OHV?
well my parents offered to buy my something for my truck for my 18th birthday next month, and im thinking i want to get something for more power out of my truck. i know nothing will make a huge difference but a little power adder never hurts. i pretty much narrowed it down to......
1 headers
2 x-cal tuner
3 underdrive pulleys
what would be the best to start off with? i have a stock engine. (i dont count my k&n intake) it would be nice to see a noticeable difference. i didnt see what i was looking for when i looked it up with the search button so how about some opinions? i dont know much about tuners or pulleys

Honestly if the engine is in good running condition, I don't see you're going to gain a lot from any of those. Intake/headers etc are really only good for higher rpms generally, and the OHV doesn't rev high, it's more low end torque.
I guess in that respect, pulleys and/or electric fans would help a bit reducing parasitic drag on the engine (although I'm not a fan of most cheap e-fan kits, or underdrive pulleys myself).
I had a good response with a tuner on my SOHC 4.0L but I'm not sure how much it will help the OHV. Why not gears/locker or suspension stuff?

33's and 4.56's is not overdoing it. I'm on 4.10's and 33's right now and it really leaves somethng to be desired. Back when I had 31's, 4.10s were perfect but not anymore. If youre talking about needing more get up and go, 4.56s are what you'll want with the 33's, otherwise I think you'll be just as frustrated as you are now. Im going to do a 4.56 L/S rear when I get the money.

4.56 gears with 33's is great with a SOHC, but the OHV (what he has) doesn't rev like the SOHC does.
The OHV will work great with 4.10's and 33s, as they work great with 3.73's and 31's.
But if I were you, I might consider 4.30 gears to help with the extra weight too. 4x4 trucks don't have that option for the front diff.
