Fitting your own pulley would be a cheap mod.

Ripping the guts out of the pre cat would be time consuming but again cheap.

Doing a One ball again is a cheap mod

Removing cylinder head and home porting is very time consuming plus you could do more harm than good but if you're determined its another cheap bang for the buck, just read a lot before tackling it, just bowl prting and ex manifold matching would be a good start.

But the easist way to get another 50-100hp though will cost you $500 is a nitrous kit, defintley the most fun but does get expensive with all the refills.

Another real cheap mod is remove as much weight as you can.
