    The first thing you should do is open your wallet and see how much money is in there. After counting your dollars, decide how much you're willing to do without. Only then can you even consider changing anything. I'd be willing to bet that if you took a few dollars and performed some routine maintenance your car would be faster. Here are a few inexpensive things you can do that are often overlooked.

    1. Check your timing with a timing light. If it's good and you're willing to run premium fuel, advance it 2 degrees.

    2. Remove your intake pipe and look at the throttle body. Open it and see how much carbon is built up. Get some throttle body cleaner and clean that up.

    3. Consider getting some new plug wires, distributor cap, rotor button, and spark plugs.

    That is a good start and should keep you pretty busy. You might even get a few more MPG's while you're at it.
