Default need some quickness

ok, so i got the headers, exhaust, intake (sr), and crank/accessory pulleys and pro-kit in. What i want now is some other mods (no turbo, or supercharger-too expensive-i'm in college-and no nitrous). Any thing else out there that will make my ride 'zippier' and more fun to drive? I was thinking sway bars and a 7.5 alluminum flywheel for quicker revving. any thoughts please?
thanks

those sprint strut bars look like more along the lines of what i'm looking for. thanks. the other stuff i don't know. I've heard some pretty bad things about gude performance. were those even vtec cams that they offered?
but to bring back my question about a lightened flywheel, is it true that it will improve low end power (even a little)? The bottom line is that i actually felt and significant difference (for me at least) after adding the parts i mentioned in my first post to my car and i'm looking for some other stuff that will add a little more, strut bars, flywheel, sway bars.....?
thanks gentlemen.

Oh ok just trying to help, I have heard flywheels do a good bit but havnt got the chance to test it out, but like you i plan on doing i/h/e before saving up for a motor swap, what exhaust/intake did you get?

thanks for the reply, in terms of the exhaust, i got it along time ago before i knew much about anything. It's a custom flowmaster dual exhaust, it looks like it belongs on a v8 mustang hahahah but it still looks cool and works on both too. It prob took some performance away down low because no back pressure but whatever. I'd reccomend magnaflow or a'pexi cat-backs; i've heard really good things about them both on this forum and from others.

the flywheel is pointless with your setup.

go with some more suspension like some good struts and bigger rear sway. maybe a strut tower bar and possibly some good tires. Also maybe a throttle body coolant bypass and a hondata heatshield if its available for your application?
