Cam, headers, tune.

Or just add boost.

How much power you want?

60's at a minimum if you want to run decent boost on pump gas.

You'll need to upgrade the transmission too, heck the stock trans might not last that long if you went cam/header route.

A good cam with some 1 and 3/4th header with a decent tune could maybe get you 50-75hp to the tire. So 100hp to the crank. I don't think I'm out of the ball park here on that guess.
