3.0 2WD Performance Upgrades

Hey guys, first time posting here, long time ranger owner. Anyway I own a 2003 Ford Ranger XLT 2wd and I just want to get a little more oomf out of it.

So far I have done:
-cold air intake
-headers
-high flow cat
-catback exhaust

Also, I just ordered a Screamin Demon coil pack and new wires. I will change the coils/wires and then do an ECU tune.

Any other ideas for some performance mods? Also anyone know how to get some original or OEM alcoa wheels for cheap?

Thanks guys!

Aside from a turbocharger, not really...other than a rebuild, you'll free up some horse but the 3.0 isn't designed for performance, designed for reliability. Trying to squeeze apple juice from a orange. Better off just swapping if you want some oomph. Even a 4.0, and they actually make performance parts for it.
