May need a tune-up, cleaning the MAF and a new air filter, run some fuel injection cleaner threw the gas, clean the throttle body, check for vacuum leaks, stuff like that.

A cold air intake, K&N, and a bully dog performance chip, and maybe upgrade the exhaust is about all you can do without tearing into the engine.
