If the car is for street use only then I think the T cam is the best choice given the 2.2L displacement.

Don't even think about porting. 32mm ports are plenty large for a 2.2 street motor. You could use them all the way up to 2.7L if you wanted.

I think Brians' idea is the best improvement for your particular motor. You can find these 2.4 cranks every now and then on ebay for around $250. The increased stroke will increase your compression ratio by about .5 points as well as increase displacement.

But really, a 2.2 is not the best starting point if you want more performance. It's cheaper to just buy a bigger motor.

By the way. That's a very nice car. Hang on to your original motor. The market on these cars is really heating up and the original cars bring the most money.
