    Meh. It's carbed, so the only reasonably effective thing to do is get a new carb.
    Best free mod is to gut the interior.

    If you can't afford a Weber, look into a Holley 5200 type of carb. They can bolt on in place of the Webers. There's also work to be done on the stock carbs. Do a de-vacuum, get a 4-2-1 header from an EFI car, do the manual secondary conversion. Advance the timing a couple degrees. Get a cam from an EFI car as well. Scavenging at the junkyard, you can probably get all that stuff for around $100 if not less.

    wut is the different from da carb caM AND EFI CAM, is da efi cam bigger or something and can i use da same timing belt? how do i do a de vacuum and how would i rewire to o2 sensor since da efi header had 2 and da carb header has 1 o2 sensor and what is a manual secondary conversion? sry for all the question but dis is my first time tuning a car like dis

    A wet shot of nitrous will be your best, cheapest, easiest way to make power and pwn some people. Your car will barely be faster with an EFI swap. And completely un-tunable if you run the stock computer. Don't waste your time unless you're doing a serious build.
