Simple answer... No. Mods that are going to really show a power difference aren't going to be cheap and making power costs money. For a couple thousand you could do some things that can double your crank HP and you will probably be pretty happy with the car.
A small turbo/intercooler or a top swap, do some supporting mods to safely drop to a 3.4 pulley.
However, neither of these mods will be cheap to have installed by a shop - so if you won't be comfortable doing these yourself, get a cold air intake from Cold Air Inductions, do a little exhaust work and get your PCM tuned by Will (Overkill) and call it a day.
