you could gut your airbox (the middle dividor) and block the resonator.. you could also remove the spare and strip the trunk for weight savings .

tighten the throttle body cable. this makes the car more responsive when accelerating.

You Can mod the Airbox as suggested and mod / remove the rad shield this is a major restriction on the car. Honda included a purpose made scoop in the hood to feed the Airbox but the slots in the rad shield don

Before gutting anything do a search on "gutting airbox" (or simular) to find out if you really want to do this.
IMO the throttle cable tightning to the correct slack is the cheapest "mod" around
