Default 91 K1500 Upgrades

Sup, just recently picked up this truck. Some things I was curious on was, is there anything I can do to make more than 150 HP to the ground? (aside from a motor swap at this time) Also, what is needed to upgrade the grille, bumper and headlights to the 95ish and up? Thanks, any help is appreciated.

I have the same year model. Guys that posted before are right can't do much with the TBI. But I have a rebuilt tranny with all the goodies, headers ceramic coated, full exhaust, and it still no match for any of the newer trucks. So do what you can with what you have and then go nuts when you get the chance.
