Start with the basic tuneup items, and make sure you change your fuel filter. After that, start removing anything that doesn't have to be there. I think I've removed close to 100 Lbs from under the hood alone with emissions and a/c delete.

After that, there's not much you can do that doesn't involve a fair amount of $$$.

a carb and a lightweight flywheel, but for what you are talking about, you'd probably have to step up to a turbo setup or a streetport/bridgeport...

Keep the revs up,and/or run skinnier tires out back.
Seriously,even a little 12A makes good torque,for its size.But,the torque peak is around 4000rpms,so you gotta keep it on the boil to take advantage of it.
