Default Desperate for HP

I have a 95 EX with the standard SOHC VTEC.. Now i know in order to see big HP gains, go boost or swap. I feel i dont have the knowledge yet for the boost, and i dont have the funds yet for the swap. I have some standard bolt on's AEM short ram, cat-back 2 3/4, performance chip (unkown - came with the car -), DC sports 4-2-1 header, (uninstalled) I need to know if there are any other ways that I can up the Horespower?? Any ideas would be appericated greatly.. thanks

coupe or hatch first off? Secondly...save up money. How fast you want to go is directly correlated with how much you are willing to spend. If you have a hatch, keep it. Coupe? Too heavy to be fast without alot of money into it, haha. I own a coupe. It is still slow even with a b18c5 in it.

As I have learned from Rocket;

the secret of flow; good intake, good TB, good intake manifold, good headwork, good exhaust manifold, 2.5" exhaust all the way back.

What parts you use is up to you. If you want input on parts PM me because I am not going to spit out a complete list of parts that I like in this thread.

no knowledge of boost + no funds for swap = NITROUS!

seriously, its the easiest/cheapest way to get massive hp gains.

well here's the situation, I cant PM because i just signed up like 2 weeks ago... so thats retarted.. But yea its a coupe.. Im whilling to spend and save so thats not the problem.. I was just curious for now if there was anything that could give me some extra power. I am actually considering a pieced together turbo kit.. T3 non-intercooled 3-4 psi, Umm if you can could you e-mail me the parts list that would be awesome.. SligneQB_4@hotmail.com Just kinda getting started in the tuner world--(and a mentor is almost required).. so thats that, thanks
