You dont say what you budget is but the best bang for your buck will come from headers, for about 299$-499$ you can get set that will give you an improvment you can feel. Dont go for things like airfoils or an overpriced air filter. These things make no real gains that you will see. If your burget is small the best thing to do is look under free mods and cut out the bottom of the airbox under you filters and get an exhaust cut out pre cat for about 100$

N20 may be nice, but it also takes more than just the kit to get it running. You must get the proper pistons and such to go along with it. You would be better to just get the headers and cam

Buy an open element air filter, you will notice the difference when you stomp on it. Those stock air filter setups totally choke your car, also hedders with dual pipes will be a great help.............Let it breathe!!!
