Doing a search for "performance", for example, and you will find all you need to know.

Just start out with an intake and a good sounding exhaust. That should keep you happy for awhile.

Save the rest of your money for gas

super chip it, reduce as much weight as possible, throttle body upgrade but that requires the intake manifold to be hand bored out with a dremel to see gains with that, if you want to make her faster off the line and not worried about fuel milage, 4.10 rear would do the trick
