A gear swap is the most effective way to get in the powerband sooner. Otherwise, More displacement, or some boost are your other options.

It will cost around $1k. No you might gain time on 1/4 mile. The bad side is you lose top speed. You also might have to shift more. Higher rpm at highway driving. This is by far your best/cheapest mod.
