After I/H/E comes compression boosts....or not, depending on your plans...after that comes higher fuel, maybe a bigger IM and ported/different TB, then bigger fuel pumps/rails and ****...then are you staying NA or hitting up a turbo?

Pretty much after I/H/E/IM/TB you have to make a decision on what you want to do, NA or FI?

That's my way of looking at it, opinion, SO DON'T FLAME ME SAYING I'M WRONG BLAH BLAH BLHA BLAH BALH - that's MY OPINION. And I'm very welcome to my own.

Just curious, why are you wanting to gain 2 horsepower?

Get an Intake

you wont feel that extra hp besides hearing your intake or exhaust.

i suggest spending it on suspension, get some nice springs and struts. maybe even coilovers...

x3

Your susupension will still be on the car when you swap, so it wont be a waste. Anything you do to your engine will be wasted time and money since you are going to swap. That is what I have done to my car: exhaust, suspension, brakes, etc, all things that I can still use when I do my swap.

edit: x4 because i cant count
