a good bang for the buck on these cars is headers and down pipe. youll really notice the difference in power. also a catback exhaust system would go nicely with it aswell.

I'd go with a 350 swap, if you're good at DIY and have a Pick-N-Pull nearby. It can be done well on that budget. Alternately, start with a better axle ratio. It'll be easier to feel either of these than playing with the exhaust.

with swapping gears in the rear end its alot more extensive than putting on some exhaust bolt ons. keep in mind hes also on a budget. and you do need alot of tools to re do your own rear end. but it would be a good mod if hes some experience with differentials before.
