An H/C/I (Heads, Cam, Intake) Kit will produce Great HP and a good option if your looking for good HP gains, but can add up. Also a Supercharger or Nitrous. ( But rememeber you dont have Forged internals )

But whats your Budget b/c we can tell you a lot of things but its all about how much money you want to spend.

Gears are a great idea and investment, you will notice the difference. But 1st are you sure it doesnt already have gears in it? You say it pulls hard, i would make sure, just incase the last owner installed them. It would be a real bummer if you got gears and did all that work and then realized you already had them.

But yeah, let us know what kind of HP range your looking at and how much Money you want to spend and we will help you out!

subframes are a must since your cars a vert, itll tighten it up and keep you from fn shit up later if you make good power, and just so you know your car has a picky computer, youll need a dyno tune if you get an aggresive cam

sub frames, gears, tri ax shifter full exhaust. Or nitrous. Or used gt40ps or well I could go on but listen to me on this one : GET SUB FRAME connectors I got a set in it after driving it for 2 years without them. They are like a must for a vert. Eliminates alotof flex.
