You might have your transmission Kick-down cable checked. If your car doesn't shift right, it can be pretty sluggish.

Are all your tune-up items in order? These cars compensate so well, they can run with some pretty crappy wires, plugs and air cleaner. I could not believe how much oil was in my distributor one time.

sorry, but i think all that really can be done is getting a new exhaust and airfilter (filters4less.com K&N $38 delivered). You can get a sport muffler from IPD for about $245. you may get close to 15 hp with those two. Good luck!
