Your not going to get any noticable power gains from any mods you do to that engine.... unless its a turbo charger.

Why not get a GST or a GSX?

i got a question...you want to get better performance and power...but you wont do anything to the head or block.. a good was to get power is to bore it...but as Sebba said, just buy a GSX because in the long run they are better

well you are off to a good start but sadly you are at the end of your performance gains lol. here are a couple things you can do. Cams, port match the intake manifold, lightweight flywheel, tune w/ SAFCII or something. other than that, ur done. with these 4 mods at about 1050-1200 you could gain up to.... 20whp? mabey? i'm not sure how much you can tune the 420a's but i hear it's not much.

plug wires and ignition may get you 1-2whp if it's fine tuned but nothing more. injectors won't help you b/c you won't need that much fuel b/c it's still gonna be a weak n/a.
