Well given it's a 10 year old car, the cheapest thing you can do is give her a good service. Plugs, leads, injectors, change all the fluids, run a tank of 98 in there and lose the crap out of the back of the wagon that any car inevitably accumulates.

High Ratio Rockers are cheap, I guess. $500 for an extra 20 or so kw
But yeah, full service, will run much better and probably gain that anyway
