Default Slow

I have a 97 Ex Auto and its slow (Auto gears are way wider than 5spd obv). I might not keep the car because I might be getting a 99 Si, but if I do what can I do to make it faster. I'm not looking to do anything too major, or if i do I would want to do something that I can undo and put onto another one if i were to get one in a manual. My friend suggested boosting it but I heard that honda auto tranny's cant handle that kind of power. So I was wondering if supercharging it would be an option or if there is other **** that I can do thats not so expensive. I'm not looking to build a race car here I just dont want my car to be so considerably slower than all my friends with manuals lol.

The best thing to do, IMO, is to just sell the car and buy a car that's 5spd. Or if you can't sell it... Save up for a swap with auto to manual conversion.

nothing. Autos are slow. The only possible thing you can do is boost it or swap it. If youre looking for speed and crap, buy the Si, or swap your car motor/trans.
