First headers and exhaust, then go for an open element for like $15. Then make the fuel pressure regulator adjustable and crank up the fuel pressure BEFORE you get a custom chip done by yours truely.
That's what can be done with TBI to make it scoot, other things to do to the car to make it faster; 3.73 rear gears and a torsen posi. Then LCA relocation brackets (which are cheap) and might look into replacing some of the stuff that wears out like the trans/torque arm/LCA/panhard/front LCA bushings, shocks and struts.
One step further on the TBI topic is to install this Lt1 cam I got sitting here for you. Do the above and you've got yourself a low 14/high 13 second car in the 1/4.
Really though, not trying to push a custom tune on you but the stock calibration code is really pathetically mild. There are a lot of "patchs" I do to change some things. For example, the first couple times you go WOT or into "Power enrichment mode" the ecm advances the timing until it detects knock and then pulls 10-20 degrees of timing out. It doesn't help they used ULTRA mild spark tables and tons of fuel to drown out the power, again, easily fixed with tuning. That's where you do it and if you want to DIY I can show you. It only costs $120 for all the hardware needed to burn your own chips!
