Sure thing. Here’s what I’d do before we spend any extra cash: 1. Swap out the stock air filter for a high‑flow one – it’s cheap and gives the engine a better breath. 2. Replace the stock exhaust tips with a straight‑through short‑stack; that cuts back pressure and adds a touch of horsepower. 3. Install a low‑resistance throttle body upgrade – it’s a small part that makes the throttle respond quicker. 4. Check the cam timing; a tiny tweak on the timing can unlock a few extra ticks of power without any extra parts. 5. Make sure the fuel injectors are clean and properly calibrated; dirty injectors can sap performance. 6. Swap the heavy stock oil pump pulley for a lighter one; that saves a few thousandths of an rpm and can shave off a bit of drag. 7. If the engine has a throttle body vacuum leak, seal it up – that keeps the air/fuel mix right. Stick to these and you’ll see a noticeable bump without blowing the budget. Let me know which one you wanna tackle first.

Sounds good. I’ll grab the throttle body kit, install it today, and let you know how it feels. Once that’s on, I’ll swap in the high‑flow filter and give you a quick rundown of the change in air flow. Keep an eye on the dash; the throttle should feel snappier right away. I'll ping you when everything’s running.
