I have heard that a pulley kit is a very nice option. The kleemann kit raises power by about 30 hp. The ASP kit costs about $700. not sure how much power it adds or how much the Kleemann costs (if I did I'd buy one of them) but if you assume they are comparable, that is about $20 per HP. which is a great deal considering average HP gain to cost is $100 to 1 hp for most other cars.

I have also thought about tinting the side windows to reduce interior temps. This should help in the long term on the aging of the interior (UV protection) and make siting down in the car more enjoyable in hot weather.
