Mill the head, to increase the compression ratio. Best bang for the buck. Helps power and economy, both.

Vote #2 for a compression increase... and do a little "pocket porting" work and a good valve grind while the head is off.
Have you ever run a compression check on your engine?
If so, what are the current psi readings?
