You need cams and an increase in compression, which means money. There is no other way around it unless you did what Garth did to his GTV6. Even that will cost you some. The head is where the power is going to come from. JimK got lots of power from the 12V, more than some modified 24Vs. Of course he knows what he is doing.

I also don't know why you call it over priced?? I have a 3.0 head for sale costing less than an iPod and no one would buy it.

I have the Alfa around because I like it and not because it's fast. But at a recent track day Nizam and I were somewhat keeping up with a 135i which was lowered, and had fat tires in my 3.0 12V. My car's head is 100% stock and it doesn't even have a good extractor/header. So it's not really slow, nor is it fast.
