Welcome,
You need Cold air induction, Kits are available on internet pfyc.com and many other online stores, and exhaust system to improve air flow. What you are working for is more air in and more air out so the engine burns more fuel when desired . It all equals more HP. This goes for V6,V8,V10,V12 etc.
This will keep you busy for awhile.

Thanks for all the help,I was just wondering....would it help to put in a new mass airflow sensor or would that be wasted money on a V6?

probably a waste at this point but not later on when you've built up some HP. The first thing to do is change the flow of air through the engine, INTAKE..............EXHAUST. Both intake and exhaust restrict airflow through the engine.
