if you dont wanna turbo right away, get some cams and an adjustable cam gear , decent price (~300 for cams)

decent hop up, but idk how much whp you'll be getting with it

a cam GEAR, allows you to adjust your cam SHAFT timing.

the GEAR is so you can tune your camshaft and get more potential out of it

edit: i probably wasnt as detailed as i should have been.

the camshaft is a shaft that goes into the head of your engine, it raises and lowers the valves to allow air to enter/ exit the chambers.

purchasing an aftermarket camshaft allows your valves to stay open LONGER so MORE air can enter
more air = more HP

i agree with Linked, if you don't wanna go turbo right away go with a cam. Or cut straight to the chase and go with a small turbo set-up anyway and shoot for around 210-215whp.

the #1 thing to remember if you decide to go turbo. RESEARCH first, buy later.
