Not to be rude, but you need to search. This question is asked at least 4 times a week in this thread alone. If you are staying NA you can take that MSD off and sell it. Stock Honda ignition is good for up to 400 HP, and you wont be getting there without boost. And as far cheap tricks go for extra power, you need to decide what you are going to do, boost or NA? Figure that out and then you will have a better idea of what and what not to buy.

i know alot of people making 550hp with stock honda ignition, any way do weight reduction if you want your car a little bit faster.

There's no way to cheaply upgrade your car to see any real difference.

you know i could go on, and on, and on, about this.
example: i just bought kamikaze headers for my dc2. i payed 330$ when i tell you
these headers came to my door looking like a 10 year old welded them.
im not bullshitting.
now, put together like **** yes. but for my gsr jrsc i saw about 13 hp increse.
anyways, bottom line is this. if you want power its not going to come cheap.
and if it does. its not going to last.

Nitrous is said to be the best "bang for your buck", but if you've known anyone that's owned a nitrous kit, all of the refills end up being more expensive than a turbo kit would have been in the first place.
