Put some NOS stickers on the back window.

What do you mean by faster? Top Speed or quicker?

1. Remove the, spare tire, tailgate, bed, hood, fenders, and doors; basically drive a frame.
3. Find a genie in a bottle, make appropriate wish.
2. Hit the lottery so the amount of money you have to spend is relative.

just do the basics, K&Ncold air intake, flowmaster muffler or others of your choice, good set of plugs and wires. my choice would be autolit copper, accel cap & rotor, accel 8.5mm wires. fastman 50mm throttle body, 180 degree thermostat. magnaflow cat converter. depending where your getting the parts for everything its around $600. which isent bad but i understand what your saying, im just doing the basics of whats listed above but just one part at a time. good luck
