With the exhaust, longer and smaller manifolds will increase torque, shorter and larger manifolds increase flow capacity I.e. more hp at the top end.

I would definitely shave the head to increase compression, it will increase efficiency and therefore power throughout the rpm range.

Ignition, more energy in means more power out. Get a bigger coil if feasible, search how to retrofit coil-over-plug ignition systems, it pretty simple.
