N/A isn't really worth your time if you want speed.

Pick up a nitrous kit.

eh, it can be on the ecotecs, but you really need a standalone to dial in everything right, and the right things to make that power where you need it.

Nathan ftw, nitrous is a quick and cost effective alternative, just make sure you understand what you're getting into before you dive in.

same thing, increased rate of accelleration is going to be a byproduct of increasing the performance.

you can pick up bolt-on parts and install them, and you'll get a gain over stock, but nothing incredibly stellar. opening up the exhaust side (i.e. replace the exhaust manifold, downpipe, and cat-back) will help things balance out. that along with some basic suspension work will make the car more fun to drive for sure. you won't get any drastic improvements though without shelling out the money and spending the time to understand what and how you need to change on the car.

it's much wiser to set a goal or a few goals you would like for the car, and then work toward them.
