Sport mode just changes the shift points in the transmission. Not much you can do on a NA engine. I would put in a K & N Airfilter to get a little more air flowing to the engine. Other than that, not much else.

If you want to really get more power out of it you may have the wrong car. I would sell it and get a turbo model. You will never be able to get that car to be nearly as fast as a turbo car unless you drop some MAJOR bucks in it.
