strip your car of all the extra weight... otherwise, spend money.

Bypass the coolant on your throttle body. Thats pretty much all I know of. If you want to strip the extra weight, take out the spare tire/jack, the wiper-fluid container, and all that other crap that you don't really need if the car is not your daily driver.

Strip weight = non-daily driveable.

Just save up $$$ for a nice supercharger/turbo and call it quits.

There isn't much you can do without spending a lot of money. Like everyone says, "You've gotta pay to play."
