Since you do have a 3.3L, you can check the early 3.8L supercharged motors, since they are the same family. Just different displacement and a supercharger on top. A motor swap would be possible and definitely give you some pep that you're craving.

Find a 3.8L supercharged motor and give it an overhaul, along with some top end work. Do some generous porting of the exhaust manifolds, have an exhaust shop make you a custom downpipe and 2.5inch exhaust to free up the exhaust end of things.

There's hope for your car.. The other option would be to find a donor 2.3L High Output motor with a 5spd and transfer everything over to your car.
