u running with an auto transmission or a manual?..If you're wanting this thing to be somewhat fast you'll need new gears too
Underdrive pullies are a good mod for the money too.
Honestly I'd make sure and make it look nice..Get some chrome wheels too

You'll need 4.10 gears
and get a full dual exhaust system (long tube headers, & the mufflers of your choice) and a cold air

dz beat me to it. 4.10s for the Auto. but don't go longtubes, the stock manifolds are good enough until about 225 whp. a stock v6 has between 155-175 whp depending on tranny and some other factors. what you need is to let the car breathe easier, cause right now it is like breathing through a straw. 1.8 roller rockers, mass-air, 70mm TB, and some other minor stuff should help.
