if you say inexpensive then heads and cam is out of the question try a underdrive pulley might pick up a few ponies but make sure you have all the free mods done first

since u pretty much have all the bolt ons for power, I would do traction and acceleration. gears, sticky tires, lower control arms and subframe connectors, and either, a good cutch or stall, not so much for power but it will make your car allot faster

A cam, plus accessories, plus install will be well over a grand

When you get a cam, go with EPS. Bing search it. There's a kit I'm buying for like 600 something. It includes lifters, springs, etc. I'm going with a 226/234 113 LSA. EPS makes nice stuff.
