Well, I wish you the best of luck!
I know you have a limited budget, so I'm just gonna' list some options to
give you ideas what you could do.
K&N Gen II, Exhaust system (no bigger than 2.5"), headers (JBA makes
some.. pricey tho), if it's an Automatic look into a shift kit, ported
tb, 1.6 roller rockers, electric fans, underdrive pullies. Call up a
machine shop or call Quick D and get those heads ported... nice gains can
be seen there. Going faster is never cheap. All the stuff I listed are
options that you have (and everything I listed is available), so pick
from that =) You'll get the best results if you do an exhaust mod for
every intake mod you do. You've got your work cut out for you. A 6er will
cream a 4.3 for the first 100ft or so, but his wieght and torque
advantage will run you down in the 1/4 mile.. good luck!!
