Horsepower isn't cheap and a 30-40 hp gain isn't anything to sneeze at.

Almost anything else you do will either move the powerband up extensively, or cause you to have to change a lot of parts.

One thing that you can look at it is your timing curve. A distributor with total timing in sooner than later on a lighter car will make the engine feel snappier.
