Define "too expensive"... your budget & mine might be different. 
Weight reduction is free.
Intercooler upgrade not crazy expensive.
Sticky tires can be had at a fair price with some searching.

Its a few days a week driver play toy and she scoots pretty good now, I was thinking the front mount intercooler but didn't know if that would actually be seat of the pants difference? how much difference would a cleaned up upper from stinger help? I know i need a better fuel pump also(have just not put in yet).

fuel pump upgrade + 18psi =
i wouldnt put $ into an upper just yet, make the fuel pump top priority if you can. it really isnt a bad job, just takes a couple hours. time well spent.

^^ +1!
No point in doing much unless you have the fuel to support it!

After the pump looks like a cam would be the next best bang for your buck.

Without bigger injectors which opens a whole new can of worms...after the FMIC I would enjoy it....enless the speed bug as really got ahold of you....
I bet you would be shocked at your air fuel ratios at WOT above 4500rpms...probably abit lean....but the old castiron 2.3T takes it.
