Cutout, underdrive pulley, get it dyno tuned if it isn't, or you could just save up that money for some nice heads for a noticable difference.

I wouldn't bother with stock 243s because it's a lot of work and money for 20-25rwhp. For another $400 you could get PRC's and pick up close to twice that.
