I/H/E will get you a few HP out of that motor. Dont expect alot. Boost it/swap it if you want more HP than the few the I/H/E will get you. If you dont want to boost and just want a little more power then do your bolt ons.

I would concentrate on suspention more than power if you only want to do bolt ons. I am in the process of doing my suspention research now. I would start with tires. I did them first and they make a world of difference. Next I am looking to add a rear sway bar from either a 99-00 Si, GS-R, or Del Sol Si. Then I will decide on shocks/springs. Up to you what order to do it in but theres a few things to get you started.
