Throw in a set of 3:73's, add a shifter, and bigger MAF with a K&N, in your stock box, and the silencer removed. That'll drop a few tenths off your ET, won't cost too much, and make daily driving much more fun.
Bump your timing up to around 14 degrees and run 93 octane. This helps low end torque and still gives you a few more pony's.
Then, start saving money for a rebuild. You can add the heads, intake, and cam you want when you rebuild the motor.
