Cheap:
get a real tune
exhaust
no intake is hurting

drive what you have, learn a thing or two, save your money for later on, build something even more fun.

If you are tight on money and want more performance what you could look into is weight reduction.

Get rid of the ls tranny, a ys1 GSR trans can be found if your willing to search. This will be your best mod hands down. HUGE improvement

Trying to adjust them on the street without tuning and seeing what's going on is pointless.
