Basics? I'd start with a full tune up... replace all filters/fluids/belts/pads etc.
As for bolt ons, with an N/A FC you're pretty limited in options. A full exhaust will help you the most, but it will be loud.
If you're looking to drag race, you should have gotten a turbo. Just my $.02

You can turbo the N/A, that's what I'm in the midst of doing.
Is it cheaper than buying a TII? No
Is it easier than buying a TII? No
Some of us here have limited time to go out and buy a car, so driving across the country just wasnt fesable for me.
So, now I've got a N/A with good throttle response, about to have a TII Turbo on it, and I can say I accomplished it my self with help of one guy.

IMHO The only time a TII swap or T-NA should be done is if.
A. Turbo rotary’s are very rare in your area and within a good distance.
B. You are board and need something to do.
If you want raw power and you want to drag race go buy a 04 super charged mustang cobra. If you want a rotary buy a TII or FD other words your wasting your time.
