I'm not too sure about the 100-150 dollar range but I would start working on your suspension. Maybe save up a little more for control arms?

not **** for 100/150... save that up for either spray, s/c, real heads(not ported stockers) or something else

In that case, you need to start saving up for a stall and slicks. Just with the stall it'll feel like you gained 100 ft. lbs. of tq. But that's only if you get the right stall and it's custom built Check out these guys http://www.edgeracingconverters.com/ . I'm running a custom built 3000 rpm street edge stall, I love it.
