Default Need more Power!

I need more power out of my H22A. I don't wanna go boost, and I've considered Cams but I don't have the money for it. What other cheap upgrades can I do?

I have Intake, Headers, and Exhaust right now. Skunk2 Cam gears, thats it.

Well, if you haven't already, start looking into lightening the car.
What wheels do you currently have? If they are some knockoffs they are probably heavy. Ye Olde Enkei RPF01s are some of the lightest wheels. Less mass for the engine to push the more power is available for accelerating quickly.
Do you have the H22 trans? Or the stock F22 trans? That alone will make a HUGE difference in acceleration.

New wheels are coming in the near future, and I won't purchase til' I'm sure I can get a good lightweight set. I have an FPR, I've heard this adds a little pep is this true? I haven't installed it yet.

Are you referring to an adjustable fuel pressure regulator? If so, simply adding more fuel without adding more air or tuning properly isn't going to do much to add power.

Your next step to gain noticeable power is going to have to be an internal mod of some sort and a tune.
