manifold is very good, don't need to change that. Cams are going to make the biggest difference without doing any head work.

Underdrive pulleys, cais, sports cat, stainless, remap if whats on the forums is to believed. I've dug around for the same answer but some report losses with the exhaust change or very little gains.
One story on FFOC was a fella spent ŁŁŁŁ's and only achieved 1.6bhp over standard.

I've yet to do any of the above to mine but these seem to be the most common mods i've found consistently. I wonder if you'll see 200bhp but you'll be close and should have a bigger chunk of torque at your disposal.
