I'd say do a full tune-up first. Plugs, Wires, fuel filters, Injection cleaning, Belts, Hoses, ALL FLUIDS, and make sure the aux ports are working. Re-ground the ECU, and the coils, not to mention the engine too.

Agreed...first step to going fast is to have the car running normally first...a step most people miss.
