Not much unless you have a ton of money laying around. Up at the top of the page there is a search bar, type your question in there you should get a lot of answers.

Deep pockets or nitrous oxide?

if you're talking quarter mile fast, an overhaul of the rear suspension, along with drag shocks/springs, plus bolt ons, plus tune, plus gears, plus DR's, plus weight reduction, will get you as fast as quite a few blown and cammed stangs who don't have all the mods listed in conjunction with their big power adder. remember, you could have 1000hp, but if you can't transfer that power to the ground, you got yourself nothing better than a worthless dyno queen

MM LCAs, torque arm and panhard bar will help you with alot of grip. and DRs on a near stock car (especially an auto) will slow it down.

AHHHHhhh i friggin hate hondas so friggin much!!! or any rice for that matter just not my thing...funnyest thing was when i took shop and this moron with a hatchback civic (while i had a 67 mustang) tried to explain the details of power to wieght ratio while i had at least 100 horses more and left him two car lengths behind me...then laughed at him when i showed him one of my pistons that were bigger than all four of his and i had 8 lol

i definitly can agree with suspension mods to help...my s281 only comes with CAI, catback exaust, and 3.55:1 gears BUT race saleen (racecraft is their brand) suspension and its friggin amazing i was able to keep right on the bumper of my cousins 95 sl500 mercedes that has about 350 horses, through tight and windy corners/roads...and on take off even when its rainy the car just sticks to the ground and goes...from what i've been reading tho PI swap gives you preaty good bank for your buck especially with a goood tune

PI swap is for 96-98 GTs only. 99-04 GTs are all PI cars.

you can go high 12s NA with a good suspension setup and full bolt-ons. there are a few over on modded that have done it. do you have an auto or manual? and for suspension, stay away from UPR, it's garbage and it will break on a DD eventually.
