Default 02 Silverado Upgrades

I own a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 4X4 4.3L V6 and was looking to increase Torque and Throttle Response? Maybe Fuel Economy with one of those magnetic fuel savers or a tornado?

I currently have a flowmaster 40 seriers muffler with dumps, airaid intake, poweraid tb spacer, hypertech programmer and a fuel at home tips. I was wondering although I know about engine swap and forced induction, What products were out their to increase torque and throttle response when playing in the mud.

I often go off road and would like any advice on products or tips to turning my V6 into somewhat of an off-road machine.

Thanks,
Steve

*I have engine swap and forced induction coming in a few years once I graduate.

This is a little different that what you were looking for, but if your running larger tires with a lift, lower gears will make the biggest difference. That might be a little too pricey of an option though.

02 Silverado 4x4 4.3 V6 ?!?!?! Never heard of such and animal. Sonoma yes, but fullsize no. Not saying you don't have it, but your the first person I have heard of that does. Sorry, you have covered the bases with what you have. You can always go headers, converter, and some of the other thing that the V8's do, but unless you Turbo or supercharge it, I think your fighting a loosing battle. Swap it out for a inline Vortec 4.2. They have 270 hp/275 tq.
