yeah i was definatly thinking a cold air intake would be good to slap in there.

and i wont even be bothered spending the money to replace the engine... I'll save that for my muscle car that i'm working on too lol. i dont see much point in replaceing the entire engine here. I just want to give it that extra little bit so that she will stand out just a little better. I dont like having cars that are all stock that much... a car's gotta have a hint of personality.
I already have her lined up to be dropped anyway. I forgot to mention that earlier.. i'm having some new springs imported and i'm going to drop it by about an inch or maybe a lil more.. depending....

thanks for all the sugestions so far guys! keep em coming! there are no wrong answers! haha
