I have the same car and I've searched EVERYWHERE!!! The only mods that are safe to do and aren't extremely expensive and painstaking are as follows:
-InMotion NA ECU
-Stainless Steel Exhaust Manifold
-940 Throttle Body
-Straight pipe to muffler
-Lowering springs/suspension
-Sway bars
-set timing 2 degrees forward
-ported intake manifold
-new wheels
-Cold air intake
-Tuned Cams
-Voltage Stabilizer
-Strut Brace
That is the best way to modify a NA for speed if you dont want to go turbo or just have a quick NA 850.

Go drive a turbo 5spd car and you will be saying what GLT n/a ! It will be completely erased from your memory!
