Default 1996 Honda Civic DX - Horsepower Gains

Can I get some advice for a 96 Honda Civic DX. I just got the car and I am looking to throw some money into it.

I already have a manifold, it came with the car but I haven't taken off the filter box to see what it is. It also came with aftermarket dual compression springs but I don't know what brand. I want to stay with the SOHC.

save money for a DOHC motor, such as the B-series from Integra, 99 on civic SI!! or H22 from the prelude!!

As right now you should get your suspension done first, lowered, put a nice set of rims on. That my lil .02 cent.

Will a new DOHC fit an aftermarket transmission if I were to get one that fit the stock SOHC?
