Its really hard to get power out of the 7AFE, especially with regular bolt ons. For decent power, a turbo will be needed. You can get the basic I/E/H which you have 1.5/3. Custom 2.25-2.5 exhaust piping. aftermarket header, and a cold air intake.. that should give you some umph.. also adjust your timing some and use a higher octane.
