if you search you will find the same answer that everyone else will tell you:
in no particular order:

1) install Vtec :P
2) engine swap
3) trade-in car
4) completely rebuild engine
5) turbo

well i figured turbo would be somewhere in the answers but how exactly does one go about installing a vtec?

im in the process of "installing vtec" basically you will just need at d17a2 head with the vtec solonoid and either a apexi vafc2 (what im doing) or a complete a2 ecu or piggy, standalone stuff.

not really worth it. but im building it for boost. i would say dont do it unless you wanna spend over a 1000 dollars for 10 horsepower

First off, Skunk2 doesn't make a header for our cars. Second the venom performance module is junk you should take it off. I believe it has even ruined a few auto transmissions in Saturns. Third, there are sooooo many articles on your question its ridiculous, use the search system it works wonders.
