Good Ways to Restore Lost Power?

I got my 99 lude a couple years back w/ 60k on it. I'm at 110k miles and i've notice that the car has gotten sluggish over the years..What are some good ways to restore lost power? I want to make a list of things i could do to restore the lost power and to make the car run more efficiently.

When i hit 78k i did: spark plugs, transmission fluid, timing belt, oil & filter change, etc.

What parts of the car should i clean or degrease? I think my EGR is clogged so i'm going to have to clean that. Should i change the spark plug wires? What else can i do? Feel free to list things to replace or clean that i should bring to the mechanic shop for.

Thanks.

a good tune up should also include
fuel filter
spark plugs,wires, cap and rotor
air filter
pcv valve (if installed)
oil engine and tranny
antifreeze every year on a car over 5 or 6 years old.

also one more thing is all weather striping should be changed or adjusted every 5-7 years for a good seal and good fuel economy

Also, run a fuel system cleaner if you haven't.
