There isn't much you can do w/the lil' 4 banger.  :-\ Maybe squeeze in a 2.5 or 2.7 Zuki V-6.

Or better yet...

I suggest something like this...  ;)

exhaust work helps, particularly pulling a cat and throwing in a less restrictive muffler.

Differential swap..  IF your feeling a lack of omph from larger tires.
Put in your signature line what yah got, will be easier to figure what you'd like.
If you put in your location in your profile, it may help pointing out suppliers.

You can do little things, Port out your stock air box, with a dremel clean out all the radius and put in a KN filter,

The exhasut manifold can be ported out with a die grinder, the exhaust put a 2.25" cat and full exhaust on it with a flow master or magnaflow muffler,run synthetic and new iriduim plugs,

Next summer when i get my house i will be pushing hard on the headers for the 2.0. I will make a full long tube header and exhaust and dyno before and after.

Pick up a Carsound cat round body. there pretty cheap under 100us for sure. do a 2.25 off the manifold to the cat, then 2.25 back to a muffler and tip. Will pick up some ponies. Example just doing a 3rd cat delete on a v6 gv netted me pulling 2 lenghts consitant on the exact same stock gv . we tested it then put the delete on and noticeable difference.

Does the 2.0 have a manifold pre cat?

Check out the "Shift-On-The-Fly Removal" article for info on How Too.
http://zukiworld.com/month_030104/feature_tsb_shiftontheflyremoval.htm

If you have a manual you should have 4.62 Ring & Pinion.  If you swapped in the 5.13 gears, you could go from a 27" to a 30" tire without much performace change.  This would benefit you in high and low, you would keep your highway driving performace and off road close to stock.
http://www.izook.com/gearcalc.htm

Do a search here for the swap.  Don't need another thread on the diff swap.

You could delete the secondary cat and it will make more power. The primary o2 is ahead of the cat and the 2ndary is behind the primary cat, Every car i did and truck with a pre cat passed the emissions with fliying colors.

Are you saying you passed emissions with just a precat? 

What does the precat do vs. a regular cat converter?
