First upgrade: tune it up and change all fluids, go back to stock wheels and tires or just get light aftermarket wheels and tires with a diameter no larger than the stock diameter. Then get some nice springs and struts to lower it an inch, and perhaps get a header. You should still pass emmissions with all this done but have a quicker car for not too much extra $.

Can I get an Amen Brotha!?

Seriously, that's the best way to go about it.
