If nitrous was not a do-able option, you could also port n polish your head and throw some cams in there, and maybe advance the timing a lil bit. id say good enough for up 30whp.

If you are going to do cams, be sure you verify the lift doesn't exceed the valve spring rate. You may need to replace your valve springs if you get an agressive cam.
