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

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.

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 $$$
