One of the very best changes you should make is to istall a higher stall torque converter (presuming yours to be an automatic transmission).

I don't know where your from or what your emission laws are but the 1st and best thing you can do to help that car is an exhaust system. Headers high flow cat convertor and a good set of performance mufflers will wake that thing up. All of the above is a little costly though. Then maybe a little lower gear ratio will add kick to it. Again kinda costly. GOOD LUCK WITH THE UPGRADES

That is a good question. What do you consider cheap? Maybe ya could do it in steps till ya got everything ya needed. How about a good set of Mufflers first. Pipe
