Don't waste your money on getting more out of the 2.8 it's already at full stretch. Convert it to something, Gen 3 1/2 cut with auto and overdrive to utilize your 4.6:1 gearing it'll motor, the old Holden EFI engine and auto T700 is a bit cheaper and still a good option. Getting a 1/2 cut means you get ECU, loom and all the accessoires for the front.

put on a larger exhaust and chip it/up the boost.
you will be surprised how much better it will be.
thats the easy option.
The expensive albeit much more powerful option is to chev it. ( diesel or petrol)
