Most horsepower increase for 350 bucks?

So I just got paid.... and I want more power in my jeep! I have 1995 4.0 auto se. So what can I do to increase HP the most for my hard earned cash? I was thinking about getting a throttle body spacer but I heard they dont do anything on XJs. But anyway, I have 350 to spend. Any suggestions? Thanks!

maybe porting the head, or a cam if you can get one that cheap...or just rig up a decent exhaust and air intake.

You might not be able to feel any power gains by doing engine mods to the 4.0 Re-gearing the axles gives you some noticeable pep though. Have fun with your build.
