Not really worth the headache. Save the money for a 350. The only 'real' way to get the 2.8 to move is to turbo it.
But, the easiest, cheapest way I can think of is using K&N air filters. You might pick up 5hp max. Next is a catback exhaust system, search on summitracing.com for a system.
Making a 2.8 faster for cheap...doable? Sure. Worth it? Probably not.
