Does anyone know of aftermarket or performance parts that i could put on my 93 F150 with an inline 6? I want more power, but can't really find anything.

Get a set of headers and a free flowing exhaust from clifford performance (http://www.cliffordperformance.net/).

Do a good tune up...so I'm not sure, but I think you can advance the ignition to say 14* BTDC at idle which should wake things up. Good plugs. Get a hipo coil on there. Increase the gap of the plugs a to say .040 inch. fashion a high flow/home made intake.

If it's a two wheel drive truck, consider swapping in some radical gears...those 300's can't rev, but might as well take advantage of torque multiplication of gears anyways. 4.10's or 4.30's would make that thing feel alive...you should have a 4 speed auto if you don't have a manual trans, correct?

That's probably the limits of what you can do to really wake that thing up...basically, could perform as well as, if not ever so slightly better than a stock 302 truck of the same year.

Of course it's probably wiser from a performance standpoint to just start with a v8...but can't blame you for wanting to upgrade the i6...they'repretty decent engines.

cliffor ftw, I have mid length headers, an efi cam, an open element air filter, a chip and performance coil in mine and it made a difference. But the best is definitely a set of numerically higher gears to improve the drivability of it. I had 3.08 gears in a 4x4 and a stock engine truck with 3.73 gears felt like a rocket compared to mine :thumbsup
