Lots of options for all of that!

This motor is also found in the Toyota Matrix base, XR, late model Corollas, MR2/MR-S, and a some other random cars.

Also a TRD header from Japan, but it's even more! Best thing to do is go get your current header ported and polished. You'd be out of a car for a couple of days, but there's been moderate gains from doing so. I believe I saw a dyno over at newcelica.org where this was done. +7 hp/8 ft/lb tq.

I'm still waiting for a cold air intake for the 2k4 GT. Are there any yet?

He worked in a performance shop for a while and he helped to install a few of them on Mustangs. He said that they were a good kit and were definately worth considering if you are looking into nitrous.

There are also Pullys that you can buy- a supercharger- or a turbocharger

Or you could toss a sack of dirt in your hatch to get more HP.(May not do much, but it says so in the manual )
