H/E + cams (Type R, Toda B's, Skunk2 S2's, whatever) and cam gears should net you about 20 whp. Just make sure you snag yourself a VTEC controller and hit up the local dyno.

edit:
I forgot to add...an aftermarket cat could do you good too. While you're at it, you could remove the PS and A/C.

a good way to extract some hp from the car is get some mild cams, cam gears, vtec controller, chip ecu, fpr and fuel injectors.
afterwards get the car dyno tuned.
that should get you 15+ whp.

if you want more hp you have to get some headwork done such as port/polish and some internals put in the head then you can run a bigger cam

You might want to look at putting a full exhaust system on it or just some better flowing pipe and a header. Not gonna give you 20hp but will help out some.

lose PS (you don't need it on a civic, regardless), good header, good exhaust, TODA cams and your average AEM CAI and you're set. don't forget to tune.

Doesn' t the Skunk2 intake manifold dyno 7 whp? I think that with I/H/E and cams would get you well over 20

Out of curiosity when you guys say pull the p/s are you guys :

1. just pulling the belts?
2. pulling the belts and pumps then plugging the power rack?
3. getting a manual rack and swapping it in ?
