Re: so i've got a 4 cylinder...
Maybe you should be a tiny bit more specific about your truck, so we can be a tiny bit more specific about exactly how much money you will be wasting to get pretty much diddly-squat happening.
start with what year it was built in, and then continue with everything relevant you know about it.
Go!

There isn't much you will do that will make a difference you will notice, and even less you can do that will make a difference you will notice and appreciate.
If you really want it to go appreciably faster, why not just skip the bullshit and turbocharge it. I don't know anything about the engine, so it might just grenade on you, but anything else in your situation is generally just a placebo. (or takes absolutely forever to do for car you really dont care about)

Re: so i've got a 4 cylinder...
Argon: according to wiki, they only had the 2.2 in 2000. they also have '120 hp' written next to 2.2, but I find it hard to believe it stayed at 120 horsepower for the entire run of 10 years (as that little info box is for the second gen one)
Edit: Hey op: heres a good alternative to turbocharging: A higher ratio diff. You probably don't often find yourself maxing out in top gear, so if you pull say, 25% off the top speed, you can have 25% more acceleration. Simple, effective. Although gas mileage will go down a bit, for the record.

Re: so i've got a 4 cylinder...
You cant do much with either, really. And I would say you are a fucking fool to turbo that thing. 120hp is the maximum power output that will be reliable.
Be thankful you dont have a 2.5L that puts out 85 hp at the wheels.
