Any inexpensive ideas?
Minor mm adjustments to the saddle and the pedals helps loads. The more you move your saddle back the more power you can generate.

What pedals do you use? One with toeclips or the clipless ones? If it's clipless, adjust the tightness of it so you can move your feet around in the pedal more.
