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.

re: what to get
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.
