If it were me, I'd invest in a nice set of GTFO!

Cheap horse power = Jumbo Shrimp

No such thing...but i would have to say the cheapest orute would be to slap on some NOs and go...however without proper tuning and engine parts you are just going to break your ****. Maybe not the first or second time youe squeeze or even the third, but it will break

ONe thing I have discovered in the last year of owning my Honda is what a few above posters stated...hosepower is NOT cheap...not by a long shot. I started to go the cheap route and boosting my D series and that turned into a nightmare of money...I said F it and I have a complete kit sitting around for the first person who comes along with cash for it. I mean complete with chipped ECU and everything...when I still found out how much it was to tune on a dyno and junk...I scrapped and said it's not worth destroying a car that I'm still paying on and is clean. Just my 2 cents.
