KKM induction kit is a quick and easy way to start (100 bucks) or you can get a K&N filter instead (50)
Plugs and wires can always help.
Those are relativly easy and cheap. Work on getting the air out of your car first (my opinion) ie. Headers, y-pipe, hi-flow cat or no cat, better mufflers etc..
Also..where in CT are you?
