For some basic stuff, a slight increase in exhaust pipe size, the K&N cone air filter, and a lower geared rearend (or smaller tires) will do just fine. (2.25" on the pipe is just fine)

There are not any other major increases in power that you can get without dissasembling the engine. The big throttle body won't really do a whole lot without a complete porting of the intake manifold and intake ports on the head.

Get some good spark plug wires and NGK plugs.
