Just bought car... Need some help!

I just bought a 1993 Del Sol Si.

Mods:
Stage 3 Racing Clutch
B18b1 swap with b16 tranny
MSD ignition
Cold air intake
Headers
Stock Exhaust

The car has a lot of power above 5,500 RPMS, it really takes off. But before 5.5k rpms, it is gutless. The cold air really sucks in air, and you could hear it, its awesome. I was wondering how I could tune it so that it would have more bottom end power? I dont know if the MSD ignition could be timed off, or if having the stock exhaust really bottlenecks the power? I am thinking about getting a full catback exhaust.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Neil

Get a good header, and exhaust. Your stock exhaust is probably choking out the motor.
