Programmed computer/upgraded "superchip"
Hi flow fuel injectors/fuel pump/fuel pressure regulator
Gapless piston rings
Oversized valves
MSD 6A Ignition w/ blaster 2 coil
If 5spd get an ACT2600 clutch
New shocks, strut bars, control arm, springs, bushings, etc (just changing shocks will not make your car handle better; only to a small degree)
Cold-air intake (true cold air, not warm air conical filter)
Underdrive pulleys
Exhaust headers, catalytic converter, exhaust piping, muffler (2 1/2" and hi-flow cat)
Larger throttle body
Tougher motor mounts
Forged pistons for higher compression
High performance camshaft
Engine balancing

Take your pick...

Edit; As far as handling goes, higher performance tires will not only increase handling capability but also acceleration. I suggest Cooper Cobras for their blend of performance/ride comfort/cost. But there are many other brands that are better for either of the reasons.

Complete waste of money.

How often is modding a car not a complete waste of money?😉

tires are one of the most important things on the car. acceleration though? i think you mean to say traction. better tires will also let you stop quicker as well because they will grip the road bettter.

They help in acceleration as to prevent the wheel from spinning without grip (this happens when accelerating from a roll, only very slightly) and it allows for a higher rpm launch without spending time laying drags.
