Exhaust is a must, intake and ignition are other simple areas to make good gains, but to really make it sing get a street port done or install a TII engine

Before thinking of more power please advise on what you've done in regards to brakes and suspension. i

Upgrading the pads, lines, and replacing the rotors is adequate for most application. I have seen a few first gen on track driven by instructors with stock brake system.

If he has good quality parts the SE brakes are the biggest on any SA/FB so they should be more than adequate at this time
