Hey Allen,
For a tune, i would suggest Ion(MadZ28). I sent my PCM to him after my cam swap. I sent it out on a tuesday and got it back the same week (Friday)! Plus, any future changes you need are only half price or so. He has a website which lists the programming options. He is one of the supporting vendors here.

Some of the basic bolt on's would be CAI, 1.6 Rockers, LT4springs and a good Catback exhaust. Tires will make a difference too.
The intake is a common problem, it can be done in a few hours or it can take most of a day. Just depends on how familiar you are with the car and whether or not you clean up everything you pull off.

thank you for the info, I do plan on cleaning things up when doing the intake so I expect that will tke a bit of time, may do headers then too. I will check out that tuning website I see others from here have gone there also, I like these cars and am hoping to get a lsi if I can off my 91 notchback. thank you again .Allen

The car is running great now. The car was way down on power and stumbling, replaced the O2 sensors and that fixed it. I think i need to readjust the rockers when i uncover it because it was starting to tick louder than normal about a week before i covered it up.
Yea, i still have the TA. I have it for sale, but not really wanting to sell. But need the money cause i am looking for a house since i will be finished with college in July.
If you need any info or any help just let me know.

Like Greg said, headers, a tune, catback, roller rockers, sticky tires, etc. Since your an auto, maybe a nice torque convertor, but they are also pretty pricey depending on which one you get. Nice car by the way.
