Default easiest/quickest thing to make a civic faster?

what can i do to make my 93 civic lx faster? i don't want to do a bunch of stuff, just something simple...this thing has no torque, i was dusted up a hill by a damn camry !!! i was going down a big hill behind this *** and he was going 30 mph, and i was blocked by a bus on the right....so we get to the bottom and start to go up, and he decides 30 is ***** to the wall for him until i decide to pass his slow ***, then he floors it and starts flashing blinkers and **** at me... if i was in my old 240sx his *** would have been grass.... i'm not into racing, i'm just into getting to where i'm going at a reasonable speed, and passing slow people who are gumming up the works.... so what can i do? buy another car? (jk)

ya but i heard (im not well informed) that nitrous will blow your engine, plus i've never used/been in a car/drive with nitrous...so i may just hit the botton and get tossed 500 yards, or tires peel out down to the rim or some ****.... honestly i know 0 about nitrous or it's use, just that its used by dentists and killing mustangs

i'd rather use something safer/longer lasting... what about turbo or superchargers? how much more horsepower/torque etc do they add?

Jackson Racing said on their web-site that their superchargers add 40% more power...never really seen a dyno or any real proof...but thats what they said...

Nitrous can be safe if tuned.

Nitrous for very cheap and occasional fun, turbo for more expensive but more serious and often used fun. Any power adder will destroy your engine if not installed, tuned or used properly.

a small boost of nitrous will be safer and MUCH CHEAPER than a turbo or supercharger.

otherwise you are looking at big money to make your car much faster.
the other option is to swap in a LS setup from an Integra.

a swap would be the best bang for your $$. drop an ls or b16 motor in it.
then boost later when money permits
