'93 Performance Mods?

Hi, I'm wondering if there are any simple ways to gain a little performance in my tbird?
I've got a 93 tbird 3.8 lx, and I'm far from impressed with the off the line acceleration. I know I can't expect a whole lot from a stock 3.8, but I would very much like to gain a bit more performance and hp.
Any ideas at all would be great! :D
Thanks.

g_lower is an unknown quantity at this point
One thing you could do is change the gear ratio in the rear end, that would make it feel alittle faster. You can add a cold air intake and some 3.8 mustang headers as well

How much would changing the gears and putting headers on it cost?
Wouldn't a cold air intake only give me just a few more hp?
And something else I was wondering is would converting to dual exhaust give me any increase with off the line acceleration?
