Default build it and she will go hard

The decision has beeen made! I will rebuild the 1600 and i'm looking for some wisdom. Does anyone have the kent crossflow 1600 manual i have seen around, the one that tells you how to make her a weapon?
I also want to get you all involved, any tips, hints on what i should be adding to the rebuild. I'm looking for power all through the rev range and will work well on a 3 speed auto.

I'm so not happy with her performance. When you're getting beaten at the lights by stock 1.8 pulsars by a girl.... not happy
