Default I want to make my 98 f23 more powerful

All of my buddies drive civics so they are no help. I'd like to know some tips, ideas, and thing you or someone you know have done and gained power. I'm not looking to boost and absolutely no nos. Money isn't too much of an issue and niether is mechanical ability. many thanks in advance.

Look up the G23 or swapping an H22/H23 head on F23 block. Other than that your looking at boost or NO2.

Or you could do the same things that all N/A engine builders might consider to up their power. Upgraded intake manifold, throttle body, camshaft and valve train, port and polish head, higher compression pistons, lighten up the rotating assembly. Shorter gear ratio trans w/LSD...etc...etc.....

There aren't as many OEM parts swaps available to us H/F series guys as the B series guys have. There are a few and PirateMcFred is one of the pioneers of swapping parts for the F23. Check out his hybrid F23 build.
