If your in an area where you can get by with it, emissions stuff D/C. Remove cat and install duals with Headers.(or if you need emissions checks, install a high flow cat)... Adjust Distributor to more reasonable advance like 12-15 instead of the 6 it comes set at(see Lars papers). And for more money.... heads and an intake.
