I mainly want to do stuff to it that will make it faster...For being a 2.2 I know it has a lot of potential I just dont know what is most effective.

the most go for your dough is n2o but do it too much and you WILL break things.

if you just want basic bolt ons then you can do this:

Injen or AEM Intake
Pacesetter Header Armor Coated
GMPP Exhaust (need to purchase a tip with the exhaust I believe)

then if you still like bolt ons u can go with:
Stage 1 cams
Larger TB
Complete any stock exhaust left over and pick up a Magnaflow high flow cat

Just know that you'll still be slow with basic bolt ons.
Also check out the stickies at the top of the forum, they give you choices for each bolt on.
