HP Tuners would be a pretty good investment. From what I hear the GM ECU could be tweaked quite a bit to wake it all up. Besides eventually when you up the boost it would be really nice to have. If you were looking for something less expensive then you could get a lightened flywheel. You will rev faster... in turn you will reach peak boost faster.

Smaller pulley, alky injection,port the charger, etc etc etc. I dont realy see why you want to upgrade your fuel system if your not upping the boost, the 310cc's with the sc kit work fine.

If your looking for basic bolt ons to the motor there are things like bigger tb, lightened pulleys, or things like headwork, secret cams, etc. For upgraded ignition I like the 2.2 ohv coil swap, more spark for boost as well.
