Off the top of my head...
Look into getting a throttle body spacer. Do a google search on it. Not a significant source of HP but somehow gives better air intake (I believe the way the air gets sucked in, sorta like a vortex).

Get some gears. 3.73's may work well.

Basic bolt on mods like exhaust, headers, intake, etc.

LOTS AND LOTS of weight reduction... that particular engine is not a significant source of power, so to make up for the lack of power, remove some dead weight with accessories that you dont plan on using, to get that car lugging a little faster.
