To get more HP/torque you need to get more air and the right amount of fuel in and then get the exhaust system to be able to get rid of it! When I had my F350 Diesel I wanted a bit more power so I went to ORW in San Diego and talked to their diesel guru and it so happened there was an off road circuit race weekend in the SD area so I was in luck. I ended getting a computer system that plugged into most all the engine sensors, a 5 inch stainless exhaust with a Flow Master muffler and a straight in air cleaner/intake that was even CA CARD approved! We figured in the "Race" (#4 setting) I was getting about 120 ft-lbs of torque more and 85 or so HP. As we know torque is what makes the truck move so the first time I jammed it into#4 and floored the throttle from a freeway red light entry I nearly ran over a 5L mustang!
So the moral is check before you spend as has been said.
