you have a lot of options to increase power. theres the intake, exhaust, intercooler, turbo, headers, etc. depends on how you want to start and if you dont mind voiding "warranty". theres alot of aftermarket parts taht mazda offers and you wont compromise any warranty. wat exactly are you lookin for in terms of power? do you have a budget?if you have no budget, can i get some money for an exhaust? lol j/k..

oh, and i'd expect those mods, all together, to yeild around 350 - 400 whp.
but thats just a guess.
i've seen dyno sheets from speed3's with turbo backs and an intake making about 280whp
