Ways to increase HP/Torque? HELP!

What can I do to basically increase my HP and/or torque?
I have a 94 Camry V6 LE(1MZ-FE) and it has been said that superchargers have problems with it and turbochargers just don't fit in the engine bay and is way too expensive. From the exception of a DIY CAI, what else can I do to increase the power of the car?

Custom cams, port and polish, 3 angle valve job, titanium springs, full headers and catback.

I think that'll cost enough $ to make your car fast.

Swap to a 97+ 1MZ-FE, then s/c it? As far as I know it should work...except for maybe engine clearance. After that, other mod's benefits would be magnified
