Electronic ignition, probably igniter type,
Extractors
2 1/2 inch exhaust
Good muffler
Good quality airfilter
Customise the air intake to least restrictions
Get it tuned on a dyno when finished

I get a massive 87kw out of mine(doesn't sound huge but makes a difference.
Gets a long alright with standard gears and 34s

Thats at the back wheels on mine. On the day mine was on the dyno, There was two petrol Efi models there that couldn't make anywere near that power (or the noise)

Electronic ingnition makes a big difference. Both in power and smoothness. Highly recommended. Only $350 fitted too.

Also recommend exhaust, and advanced for premium fuel.

You can never have enough power. If not try a few more cyclinders. :onfire:

Apart from what everybody has suggested there isn't much more that can be done unless you want to start bolting things on and spending big $$$
