NC restoring power to my rx8

I bought a rx8 last year and I love the car. I'm not the most mechanically inclined person but I can follow directions. I'm trying to restore power to my car. It seems like its a bit slow taking off but steps it up once in second gear. I have a automatic trans (which sucks I know)Any suggestions?

read around the performance section to find which mods you need, and which ones that are garbage.
Do like laythor suggested. Also, read this https://www.rx8club.com/new-member-forum-197/congratulations-you-got-8-a-202548/
