Inexpensive Upgrades

Hey I recently bought and installed some Monza headers and a K&N air filter. I also hollwed out the cats. I am wondering what kind of other upgrades I could get that are rather inexpensive.

What kind of mufflers are the best?

ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED!!

Advance the timing - zero cost
wire 5th & 6th ports open- zero cost. You might have to do that anyway or T into the airpump to open your ports since you may not have sufficient back-pressure if you have very free flowing system.

Remove the air pump and A/C, less stuff runnin on the engine = more power. Cold air box for the air filter:www.fc3s.org, "How To", "Engine", "Cold Air Box". Apex S-AFC. $300, but it really helps.

But... Is it worth $150? How about the reliability issue of the msd?
