You could do the gt-40 (explorer) upper and lower intake, and to remove load on the engine and increase rwhp, you could remove the air pump, convert to manual steering, and get an electric fan.

Other than say, full exhaust, throttle body, short throw shifter(assuming you're manual), possibly a larger MAF, you have pretty much maxed out the "mostly stock" catagory.

An ls series engine would be the easiest and quite honestly the smartest way to add power.
