Seriously now, there's not much you can do for free, only weight reduction, but unless you strip down the car to the metal, the difference won't be much.
You want stupid sounding cheap ideas, lets see, build a PVC pipe "Cold Air Intake", check new houses construction areas for free piping

, do the infamous resistor mod on you IAT sensor, 99Cent pack at radio shack, advance your timing, free, use a 12mm wrench,, gut out your factory cat conv.,free but a PITA. But in the end it is better to wait and get the right parts.
