If you're planning on staying NA (naturally aspirated, as opposed to forced induction like super/turbo charging), then the most common pathway is to install intake, exhaust, headers, and a lightweight or underdrive pulley set.
As for me, I'm going only as far as intake/header/exhaust. I'm just waiting on my Injen SES exhaust system (stupid backorder...).

Ack! That's the most common pathway towards expensive power, let alone with a RICER tag attached! With a bit of know how and a bit of luck, you can easily put together a turbo kit for around 1200 in parts and labor, if you're lucky.
We turboed a GK Tib here with an old DSM 14b turbo and various parts we found around friend's garages for under 1000 dollars with labor costs including a BBQ and a couple cases of beer. It wasn't the cleanest build, but it can be done.
