You're not going to see any real improvements (power wise) with bolt-on's...but a good place to start is some form of cold air intake, headers, and an exhaust system...

Haha.

Cut a hole in the floor board and Flintstone that ****

God knows, you could probably make over the top 80lb/ft tq. at the wheels w/ ur legs.

EDIT @ OP:
Visit gassavers.org and crxmpg.com

They're into that ****.

Jack up your tire pressure and/or get realy hard compound tires

i have actually noticed a mpg increase one every car ive driven when i installed an intake and k&n filter.

now this only works if you drive normal.

if you like the sound too much and drive like a jack *** street racer then mpg gets worse
