Get the best/biggest exhaust system that you can afford (headers, cat/remove cat/ cat-back). Get that extra supercharged flow out the tail.
Get a decent torque converter and tranny cooler. Even a stock engine benefits from this.
Maybe some 1.6 rocker arms. Even with a stock cam, you can gain some here.
Run the best fuel you can find (keep the knock sensor happy).
