Tuning could gain him around 10 rwhp. I personally gained 12 rwhp from tuning after installing headers on my car. There is also having the throttle body ported and an underdrive pulley that could give up some more ponies. After those I would suggest a power adder (supercharger or nitrous) or maybe a cam.

This car needs a cam for the next mod. You will need to upgrade the valvetrain too. A cam, valvesprings and chromemoly rods should cost just under $1000.00. Dyno tuning should run approx. $500.00 on the first visit.

I agree!
You need a cam, and some long tube headers.
Just the cam would be a very large improvement
Cam and springs at least
You will love it!
