If I were you I'd definetaly start off with a full exhaust. By that I mean headers and a cat-back. If you have TPI I'm pretty sure you already have a 3" cat which is good. Then grab some new cylinder heads and a camshaft, and if you've got TPI, maybe upgrade to a streetram or at least an aftermarket base, runners, and throttle body. If you don't have MAF, you have SD and will need a custom chip to make all the above work. With those mods, if they're done correctly, you'll experience a huge jump in horsepower.
