If you enjoy the tinkering there are a bunch of things you can do, but if you just want the cheapest fastest route to more power then sell yours and get a 2000 S.

The money you will spend upgrading the older one will cost more that just buying an S, plus with the S you get the beefier parts and bigger awesome disk brakes.

Then once you get the S, spend a meager $500 for a Top Speed Exhaust and the 2nd cat deletes if you have 2nd cats and you will have a mean sounding, powerful beast of a 986 for minimal time and money, plus some nicer resale value.
