Rep Power: 0 How much is sufficient for you? And how involved are you wanting to get with the mods to satisfy your power needs?
There are currently i/h/e mods, ECU recalibration, fuel system harnesses, direct fire ignition coil upgrades, iridium spark plugs, stand-alone engine management systems, cam gears, VTEC controllers...and more are coming out. Just be patient, as we have a pretty tough little engine to modify...what with the economy-minded VTEC system and the ULEV emissions system...

Rep Power: 0 Nitrous is the only way to get good results with the car now.
I prefer that you call it NITROUS instead of NOS...
The quick and easy solution would be to go out and get a new GT or Type S; real sports cars. Or if you want, just wait a year or so and the aftermarket for our cars should pick up...turbo's should be out by then. Those plus a nice 50 shot and you should be pretty decent.

Rep Power: 0 Yeah Nitrous is the only real thing you can do to get more HP out of the car.
With time someone will have a Turbo out for our cars, and I think alot of us are waiting for that.
Your only other, and more expensive option is to do a swap.
