pick up a new cam for it, take the heads to your local shop and have a 3 angle job done, maybe even polished.. go for a k&n cold air intake setup, more free flowing exhaust, all said and done you should notice a really nice differance...

dont forget to do a major tune up first. I think Tom P posted something about what a "major" tuneup has in it, you can search the webpage for that post. You might want to also try a Super Coil, Accel Cap/Rotor, some 8mm, 8.5mm, or 8.8mm wires (to handle the extra juice from the coil) and maybe a MSD ignition, all in all, you'll have some more power at the higher RPM's and the engine should rev faster too. I also agree with the cam, you might want to try rollor/rockers also, along with porting your intake and exaust manifolds.
