premium gasoline, pod filter, cannon muffler, a well designed cold air intake, ngk iridium spark plugs, oil blowby catch can, intake manifold flush (use carby cleaner) and polish (fine sandpaper/dremmel).

all the newbie DIYs, cheap and easy stuff. use the search feature on this stuff, 6gc's info pages have some stuff too.

Sadly, the only thing that could show any real improvement here is the intake. Premium gas does nothing if the computer isn't tuned to utilize it.......a cannon muffler really does nothing if you don't open up the restrictive exhaust ahead of it..........spark pugs do NOT gain you HP (if your old ones are shot you can recover HP, but you won't gain anything).........a catch can helps prevent detonation if you're getting excessive oil through the PCV but that's about it...........intake manifold flush, that's just going to clean it out.

Like was said before, unless you can do a turbo motor swap or a custom turbo setup, you really won't see anything that noticable.

Now, if you can't afford the above, about the best you're going to get is with a well designed CAI as stated above, in conjunction with a header and full length exhaust. That's enough to make a noticable difference, but it's still not going to be that quick.
