As far as easy bolt on stuff goes, there's not much out there for these engines.

I'd recommend installing an electric fan for sure though, I just installed a 2.3 ranger fan and shroud on my 3.0 and it's added power.

Maybe also consider upgrading your ignition with better gapped spark plugs, low resistance wires, and maybe a more powerful coil (opinions vary on the coil).

Consider an underdrive pulley as well, should free up some extra ponies.
