Don't forget to fold the rear bench - it helps lower the centre of gravity

the one with the air tube and the throttle body spacer? those parts are just wasting time and money. The exhaust and big bore throttle body should help though along with the K&N. May still be cheaper just to bore your own throttle body...

Gears are also a great power adder. Porting and polishing the head isn't a bad idea either.
How much did you pick up with the cam?

Haven't had it on a dyno, but it seemed to gain a little bottom end torque with the cam.
