you can eliminate all of the emisions crap, that will free up some power and wieght...you can also take your whole a/c system out, that will also take about 40lbs off the front of your car, and will free up some hp also...all you gotta do is disconnect your airpump and take it all out, and take your cat out too....and for a/c, you pretty much take it right out of there, and gett a false pulley or reroute your belt system...there aren't many FREE ways to get more power, but there are some inexpensive ways...

bump the timing a few degrees and run good gas, throttle body bypass, 160 degree thermostat (cheap), mold your own airfoil, ram-air from behind the fog lights.
