horsepower mods on 85 z28, give me some

i was looking at a 85 z28 for 1500. but i like speed like just like most of you would. but the z28 is carbed and not TPIed. that means the weak 155hp stock. I was wondering what could I do without buying a new engine to get the hp into the 250 range.

raise compression, change heads, cam, intake, carb, headers and less restrictive exhaust, might be cheaper and easier to go with another engine, unless you really like the 305 in it now.
