I'd refrain from taking everything people post on here as gospel truth. Sure, most of the stuff mentioned so far will help but the majority of commenters on here track their car or do some other sort of heavy pulling with it, and they leave these huge lists of parts which they say are "must haves" to get maximum performance. This creates the sense that an 86 stock is crap and needs to have an overhaul done to make it "good", when in reality there's very little you need to add to make it more exciting. People also post under the assumption that everyone has just as much access to resources as they do, such as a tuning shop, or buddies to help with installations, or simply cash, when a lot of people (including me) don't.
Drop-in filter is definitely recommended. The uel, catback and tune combo will also make a huge difference (people say ecutek is the only way to go but it isn't). These are the very basic things that are tried-and-true ways to increase power with these cars, everything else is optional and frankly unnecessary. Personally I would recommend getting cooling components if you plan to drive your car hard at least a little, but again it's not something you have to do.
If you do track your car, though, then ignore everything I've said.
