Check out the FAQ at the top of the page, so much information in there covering engine swaps, power adders etc.

How much money and what is the goal?
Honda with an 'auto trans' and 'performance' don't really go well together.

I would look into doing a 5 speed swap first not much you can do with an auto tranny,but if not enough money for that, some bolt on's should do a lil something just stay away from ebay crap!
