The thermostat swap will do little since the car's computer controls the fan's on/off function.
I've read that stock paper air filters perform about the same as a K&N filter when compared on a dyno.....the paper filter is a throw away but with K&N you can clean and reuse the same filter over and over....so you'd save money in the long run if you hang onto the car.
