Read up on Honda-Tech. This board is pretty much all about performance. Just hang around and read everything and you'll get a better idea of what parts you wanna add to your Si.

Re: b16a, what is the best way..... (sledgehammer)
i would never spray in my si, that will just mess up my engine in the long run, i had a 75 shot in my old 95 ex and i ended up blowing the motor, turbo is what i thought would help alot, but i want to do something else first, i just don't know what to do, i just got the car 3 months ago, and i have only had the money to put exhaust and intake.

That only says you don't know enough about nitrous and tuning a motor utilizing nitrous.
What you need to do is decide what direction you want to go with the car and start buying parts for it. For example if you plan on boosting then buy parts for that. You will sacrifice for a while but it'll save you spending twice as much money in the long run.

if your looking for like bolt-ons other than boost or nitrous, a flywheel will help alot cams a v-tec contoller aem v-2 intake, but if you want a decent increase of acceleration you need the bottle or boost

You hit the nail on the head, mang.
You could also swap that poor B16 with a C5 or a B20/VTEC.
What's the tq. on a B16? 111? 116? Nasty.

Re: b16a, what is the best way..... (scratchy)
i am going to go with turbo once i get the money, which will probably be this summer, but my si and i guess all si's are weird, they have so much power around 4500 to 8200 rpm but before that, it seems to be so slow

Keep stock intake, use K&N drop-in filter, upgrade header to 4-2-1 design, weight reduction, upgrade cam gears, advance timing, and tune...

Re: b16a, what is the best way..... (SIowner)
b16..... BOOST!
don't be scared of boost yo! just do the reaserach and boost on a small *** turbo kit at 5psi (bearly any additional stress to the piston, rings, motor) you will fee WAY more tq.
boost is your only option unless you want to spend 1300 on jun3, retainter, valve springs cam gear and tunning only to get 15-20 more whp at ONLY peak rpm with more stress on the motor than a simple turbo kit at 5psi ... lol
