how much are you looking at spending? for around $400 you can get a nice Cold Air Intake set up with a high flow muffler installed which is a noticable power increase. also for stock/mildly modified vehicles you can get a performance programmer, i believe the hypertech power programmer III is runnin around $350 right now

To get the most bang for your buck, 4.10 gears will really help pull the weight around!!!
My Diablosport Predator made a noticable difference too.

Fabbing the cold air intake is pretty cheap & easy...it's all up to how you do it.
