I need more speed!

Like Kwhauck said, you need to have other things in the engine to actually see a good difference. You would probably need to port the intake manifold for the engine to actually receive extra air provided by the t.b. Also, with more air coming in, there would be more air coming out, so you need a higher flow exhaust. If you bolt it on right now, with what you say you've upgraded, you will see a difference, just not much of it. I would recommend you go for exhaust first. This link has a small paragraph on throttle bodies.

Thanks, See I was thinking of replacing the exhaust along with the muffler all at once. Just need to find one in a reasonable price and worth it.

Is it also true replacing plugs sometimes helps with a bit of performance?

Plugs and wires wont make you go faster (atleast anything highly noticeable), but you will notice a difference in how it starts/fires. Not sure if you will notice too much while regular driving. Throw some 8.5mm MSD wires on there and somegood plugs, and you will be happy.

Dont know too much about that kinda stuff because you cant really put wires on the 2.4. And never had the chance or reason to switch plugs.

Ignition upgrades dont make much of a differece at all. The stock ignition setup should be good enough. Just make sure you have it properly maintained.

The quickest and easiest way is nitrous, but with all sorts of laws all over the place it might not be the right answer.
