I love cornering, but would like more speed in the straight-away.  How can I
obtain this without major engine modifications?  I have a stock Mk III
1297cc HE with twin SU carbs.
What types of things, in order, of money and time, would produce a faster,
more responsive performing car?

Replace stock air filters with..what?
Use lighter weight oil in carb damper?

Free-flow exhaust?( Would this be a noticable increase in power or just
sound like it is.)
Headers?  

Supercharger? ;-)

I don't want to swap engines or rebuild the one I have, I basically want
every horse out of it that I can get, short of engine mods (cams, boring,
etc.).
