The sweet spot on these cars is higher in the powerband. 4.10 (4.08?) gears will keep you in that part of the powerband more. You'll never really get a dramatic increase in low end torque staying NA. You might gain 10-15 ft-lbs after spending a grip getting there. Just re-gear it and rev the **** out of it.

Edit - Take a look at the Motordyne manifold as well. It'll cost you a few hp on top. but gives a noticeable boost in midrange.
