Either do a Si swap, or MPFI conversion, then work your way up. I would recomment a SOHC VTEC swap, but I think you can still get excellent power out of an A6 motor. The VTEC engagement can be a big hassle, if you want to do it right at least...

Well you can do a search for either MPFI swap or DPFI to MPFI and you will have tons of info on it cause its been covered a billion times already. As for the increase you doing the MPFI swap will put you at what an Si has (about a little less) but then again you could just put a whole A6 head on it as well then you have the better cam also.
