Welcome to the forum
What engine?
Assume V6 with dual exhaust, 3.0l Vulcan or 4.0l SOHC?
There is not much you can do for either, turbo or super chargers are about it.
Dual exhaust shouldn't have changed power unless there was a problem with stock single exhaust, looks and sounds better though
No car maker has an exhaust system that causes back pressure at any RPM in a 4-stroke engine, thats a Myth

Yes, +1 ^^^
All fuel injected Rangers came with Cold Air Intakes(CAI), and 200% air filter size
Also Tuned exhaust, just FYI.
Yes, you can change air intake to look or sound better, that makes vehicle your own, customize.........."better in hock than stock" lol
But no power gain, and many lose a little power.
The 3.0l Vulcan is a high RPM engine, so you need to drive it that way
Most engines make their best power/torque at 2,500RPM
3.0l Vulcan is a SLUG at 2,500rpm, it starts to make power at 3,200-3,900rpm depending on year
2004 3.0l has best power/torque at 3,900rpm !!!!
Best horse power at 5,200rpm
You are NOT over REVing the engine at 4,000rpms, so drive it like a "rented mule" get those RPMs UP and keep them up.
Specs on the 3.0l Vulcan here: https://therangerstation.com/tech_li...formance.shtml
This can be a pain with an automatic trans, they are setup for 2,500-3,000rpm engines
Morana Racing has some 3.0l stuff: Tom Morana Racing Engines
Most of it only makes sense if you are racing in a 3 LITER limited category
