Go to ZZP performance and read ALL the tech articles. This may answer alot of your questions. The easiest way to gain speed is to lose weight. Rule of thumb is for every 100 pounds you lose, you gain .1 in 1/4 mile. Lose the heavy stereo, dump the chrome wheels for aluminun ones. Best performance gainers are: 180 thermostat, performance DP and PCM. Your Borla mufflers are perforate tube turbo type mufflers. They are great for power, so stick with them vs a louder chambered muffler like summit welded or flowmaster(over priced IMO) http://www.zzperformance.com/grand_prix/articles.php

dp + pcm = hp

Bigger throttle body give you little better throttle response. And open headers will give you all the noise you need and can handle!

If the headers aren't enough, you could always install that sound system that mimics exhaust.

I was going to say headers, but headers kinda poop on throttle response. Catalyst and resonator removal (if you have em) will increase and change your exhaust tone somewhat as well.
