you wont see fast in an accord unless you do one of the following:

... engine swap
... boost it
... internal build

thats all pricey ... so start with the basics ... intake, header, exhaust

"Go Fast" is an exercise which often evolves into a constant throwing of money into what feels like a bottomless pit.
The trick is to sit down with pad and paper, be truthful with yourself and identify how you want to drive it (daily driver OR weekend warrior OR banzi ninja) and how much you're willing to spend on your quest to get there.
Next, start reading and researching everything you can possibly get your hands on with regards to your project.
Then you can start lining up your parts and build your project once (and correctly)

I'm not being critical here, and I'm certainly not trying to discourage you. But what I AM trying to do is save you the universal aggravation of spending four(4) times the money really needed because of mis-steps and wrong choices.

If you want a quick 50 -75 hp. , consider a nitros set-up. It will keep the car interesting while you line up all the rest of the stuff you'll need.
