no need to touch the intake unless you want to do the heads at the same time... stock and untouched it's good for a good bit of power.

What kind of trans do you have? If auto look into a stall and a trans cooler then for sure a tune. Or start doing a bunch of suspension work.

+1 on stall, you can also look at koni shocks and strano springs if its your DD. And full exhaust too.

As it sits your intake manifold ports are most likely already larger than the ports in the heads so porting the intake would serve little purpose.

Focus on bolt ons. Full exhaust, Cai, tb, Roller rockers, Suspension parts really make a difference. +2 on the stall. Single most improving mod on a stock car.

Comp Cams 1305-16 are a very popular choice. But i think theyre discontinued and got replaced with COMP Cams 1605-16 which are more expensive. They are 1.6 roller rockers.
