You MAY need new plugs, timing adjustment, ignition wire, etc,... Again you might need that but, your shop (or dealer) will know. But, it sounds like you havent had the car tuned up since you had it. (Correct me if I'm wrong on that.) So no better time than the present to have it done; it certainly can't hurt.

Even simpler yet, I've see a couple of cars that were transformed "dramatically" by switching out an old, dirty OEM filter for a new K&N. So personally, I'd focus on the simpler things and if still no difference in performance, have a dealer service dept run a diagnostic.
