Easiest Performance Boost

Hi!

I've been lurking a while, and this looks like a great forum for Toyota truck owners!

I have a 92 with automatic, 75,000 miles, runs great.

Gas mileage and performance have always been not so great. I think this is normal.

What is the easiest/simplest/cheapest/safest way to gain say 10-15 HP? I would like just a tad more kick when passing and accelerating into traffic.

My driving habits are about equal town and country driving. Trips over 30 miles are rare (because of the poor mileage and comfort issues)

Many thanks,,,

CAI (Cold air intake)
150+ dollars by a company (if there is one? Sorry i don't browse the truck forum much) Or 40$ for a DIY (Do it yourself) one. The price will raise depending on how you want it to look.


Please search next time you post a question. Maybe it hasn't been covered much in this forum but in the camry forum i kno for sure it has been asked to death.

A cam should help, headers and exhaust should help, don't know about an intake on it, but that should help too.
