I have a 99 3.9l v6 2wd, the best mod I have done so far is to put an aftermarket exhaust on. I noticed a difference as soon as I drove it out of the muffler shop.

I went with the MBRP Super Single myself and am quite satisfied with the results.

try a v8 TB. its not hard to do. it'll take you 30
min max and it lets alot more air into the engine
thus gaining low end power.

Better TB (flowmetrics, or V8), Intake, Exhaust, Headers all good mods.

Really cheap with noticable improvments: Remove clutch fan and use an underdrive crank pulley, Relocate IAT sensor

Best mods I've done so far is putting a Gibson exhaust on and a mildly modified V8 throttle body.

Gibson aluminized steel catback will cost you about $300 shipped and you can buy a used V8 TB on e-bay for around $100. If you want to go the new route for a V8 TB it'll cost you about $220 at a dealership.

The only mod I can think of that will really help you out is the installation o a 426 hemi crate engine.
