Boost comes from a turbo or supercharger... If you want to stay naturally aspirated then you want to go with more engine add-ons such as cams, oversized throttle body, get a custom tuned chip etc.

Didn't the 99-00 SI's have rear disk brakes standard? or am I mistaken....

I think the headers are limiting you, try just one header it should give you more hp

lol at the responses. but OP, what are your hp goals, is the car your dd, how much money do you have to play with? all these questions are key before trying to figure out anymore. anything with more than about 280-300whp isnt going to be dd'able. and you don't have an em1 if you had drum brakes.

spell check



but seriously if its your daily i recommend you do little things like suspension and get used to the car before you try to make more power.

oh, and get rid of the duals

this i will agree with. Also if you want to make more power for now get all the boltons that you can for your motor and tune it, a tune will bring out the best in your motor. im not a fan of the b16 cause to me that motor feels like a d16w/ vtec but anywho its about you not me. GL

Lose the muffler(s) and the header(s). One of each of those should be plenty. LOL

How long u had the car? Just get used to it like that for now. Cuz when u do headwork u gotta tune. And you might as well wait till you have a good amount of mods to tune it and leave it for a while.
Cuz tuning gets expensive, unless you're tuning yourself.............but i dont think you know how to tune
