The first thing you should do is a good tune up. Plugs, wires, fuel filter, etc. The next best thing would be a CAI and full exhaust.

A certain amount of what we might call performance is tied to HP, torque, and fuel mileage. Unfortunately, the manufacturer pays a lot of people a lot of money to come up with the best combination of each. So,,,,,,,,,, if you want to gain one you are going to lessen one or more of the others, that's just the way it is ! Spend it wisely.

What was said above and have someone who knows how to tune cars (Computer wise) A CAI and exhaust is lovely but a tune can make it soo much better. Was your intake mainfold metal or plastic? Trying to remember when they switched up.
