A 15% pulley should do the trick... Be sure to go to colder spark plugs, Iridium seems to be the plug of choice. Next should be a cold air box... Not too expensive, then a good exhaust system, again Miltek seems to give the most power without being offensive in the sound dept. This combo should give you a pretty good boost in power... Good luck!
