Going to have to agree, a full tune-up is a must. This includes vacuum lines too. My car ran much better (smoother and with more usable power) once I gave her a full tune-up and repaired about five broken or sketchy vacuum lines. She also starts quicker, almost as fast as I can turn the key!

A CAI is NOT really worth it. The stock set up is pretty darn good.
Chips help a bit but you will be using Premium fuel (I like the Weltmeister chip I had but pulled it when fuel got over $3.00 a gal)
Taking weight out of the car is like adding HP.
Going to a smaller height / diameter tire will change the gearing a little.
There is no cheep 20-30 HP on a NA car. Where these cars shine is in the corners and braking. Another thing to note is that the NA R&P is a weak point with these cars. You can add HP to them but you will then have to be more careful with the drive line. Dropping the clutch and speed shifts can over time cause you to pop the R&P.
