Default more power??

What are some quick ways to get more power from the 2.5 4 cylinder?? Im thinkin cold air intake for a start. need more maybe even improve fuel mileage (only getting 19-20) what about tire size, I have the factory tire size i believe but with it being the 4 cyl. should i go with a smaller tire maybe to improve driveability and performance and what size would anybody recommend going to??

a hot air intake will get you better mpg's because it makes the computer feed it less fuel so maybe just a filter off the tb?!?

tune it with quality parts. as far as tires go, id stay with the factory size and buy a highway tire. the ride will be better and they are made for mileage.

a cai might help but i doubt you will really notice anything there...

besides that, i think you are stuck with what you have unless you want to spend alot of money
