Default cheap/easy ways to increase acceleration?

The stock b5 a4 with the 2.8 v6 quattro has a 0-60 time of 7.4 seconds...according to Wikipedia, at least. But i attempted to beat that time a few times, and once going downhill as well. on flat land, my 0-60 was around 8.2 seconds on average, and downhill it was 7.4.

I would like to get that down to 5 seconds, or maybe better, if possible. i want to avoid putting a turbo or anything like that in my car (maybe NOS ). i dont really have a set budget, i just want to know the cheapest ways to increase my acceleration without swapping the engine or something like that.

I should say, i don't care too much about the top speed, i haven't ever gone faster than 115 in my car and i know its capable of exceeding that.

Well if this is a 12v (pre 98) than your pretty much outta luck but if its the 30v you could supercharge it probably gonna be your best bet for making it quicker

You know of some super chip? The chips for the 2.8 give a whole 10-15hp gains... not 100! What ever your smoking I want some!
