Its a Tempo. I wouldn't waste money on performance. There was one in MM & FF a few years ago that looked like a drag car. It had a tube chassis, tubbed, looked great...except he kept the 2.3. He listed all these modifications he had done including NOS. He listed his best time as 17.xx. All that money and that was all he had to show for it.
That being said, nothing is going to be much of a difference, but the sum of all might be noticeable. Mostly common sense stuff. Get some dryer vent hose and run it from that throttle body to somewhere to get some cool air. Run it out the side of the fender and cap it with a cone filter. Advance the timing a hair, make use the plugs are good and gapped properly. Keep your tires aired properly

Don't forget a new wheel cover for the rear wheel, got to have good aerodynamics for acceleration down the hill.

I saw a beat up Ford Probe somebody spray painted white and somebody had hand painted on the rear bumper "cost of paint $100, cost of car $1000, the look on your face when I blow your doors off...priceless" and between the front seats he had a 10lb bottle of nitrous.
You could go that route....

Graphics, a red "R" emblem, 4' wing, and a 6" fartcan exhaust. You will be running 12s in no time.
seriously, use the Tempo for the purpose it was designed, economical transportation. Save your pennies and start a "fun car fund". Use the Tempo to chase parts for your project.
