Tuneup. New plugs correctly gapped. Clean throttle body. If something's not working right, no add-on improvement is going to truly add performance.

After that, K&N air filter. Around $40-50.

But it's not going to do that much. To do 'much' you need a chip, and a super expaination of manufacturers out there making chips is here:

Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!
