Is there any (relatively) cheap way to increase low end torque on the 7AFE besides decreasing car weight?

Would an Injen intake or a K&N 57i europe kit help?

Different exhaust?

Unlike stated last year, I still have not gotten a new car, so I'd like to make the most of this one without serious mods while it's serving me.

advance timing and run higher octane fuel
intake
exhaust
header
air/fuel tune
reground cams
increase the compression ratio

or put in stronger pistons with stock CR and boost it. keeping stock CR means you won't be as laggy off boost.

Unless you suggest running race fuel, premium pump gas will have no effects on performance vs regular.

I think you are taking Bitter's comment a little out of context here.

It will take him a moment to realize that he's about to make a 180 degree turn at speed, but you will be ready for it. Brace for the g's, and fast heel-toe work.
