New Firebird Owner - Need advice

Hello! Im new to these forums. To be entirely truthful I'm pretty new to doing any work on cars in general. Recently i was lucky enough to find a 91 firebird with a v6 on the cheap due to the person not knowing much about them. I had some work done to it and replaced a few things myself to get it in good shape. Including new gaskets throughout the entirety of the engine, new timing chain, new spark plugs, TPS, IAIC, new water pump, filters, oil etc. So right now the only thing i have to replace is the blower motor. At some point i'd like to redo the interior and paint but those can wait for now. So what i was wondering, what kind of work can i do on this engine to get better than the stock 150 hp that it comes with? Right now im a little short on money but feel free to list anything you can think of so i can make a list. Like i said, I'm new to this so I dont even know where to begin. Thanks for reading this post!
