Default RS1800 low down speed

I have had mine for 4 years and it is a superb allround car, the engine is quiet and bomb proof and has never let me down. Performance wise it is at its best on the motorway, from 5th at 70mph it really pulls hard and if you drop to 4th it is rapid. However its 0-60 is perhaps its only weak point and I even miss the kick my XR2 used to have through 1st & 2nd gear. Could I improve this with a power boost valve (what is one and where does it go) and a superchip, I have replaced the filter with a performance one and I don't want to add cone filter as I want the engine to look original.
cheers
