Supercharger. Just bolt on and go. Look into it. Say, procharger, powerdyne, or vortech. 6-9 lbs boost will do great! But around $2-3 grand... ...depending... You can also do a Cam/Intake/Heads mod....

Practically speaking (once again, depending on how much you want to spend....) I'd leave in the stock clutch for now and stick with the stock plugs (those always seem to work the best on a N/A motor, IMO). Interms of mods, man, I like everyone else can tell you, it all depends on how fast you really wanna go and much you can spend to get you there .

Here's a few safe, relatively cheap, and easy to install mods (a very good starting point):

1) Steeda Tri-Ax shifter
2) FRPP Aluminum driveshaft
3) Aftermarket mufflers
4) 3.73s (I'd suggest these if that is your only car and daily driver. I wouldn't mess with 4.10s at this point...)
5) MAC Cold Air Intake with K&N air filter

These "mods" won't necessarily add gobs of horses, but they will sure allow the car to use the hp you have a LOT more efficiently.
