Default Looking for HP

I just ordered a full exhaust system from bbk, and flowmaster. My question is what next? I have a K&N filter and ignition wires and no air silencer all else is stock.
I am not looking to be the king of the road but I want more power. What should be my next move as far as fuel air delivery? Throttle body intake.......um not sure.

Ant suggestions?

thanks

the answer all depends on what you intend to do with the car, keep it a daily driver or make it street/strip or what??? for a primarily street driven car, lower rear gears will make better use of the power the engine is already making at lower rpms.
