Suggestions on performance

I got a 2002 LX, currently have AEM cold air intake, cam gear, power pulleys, HKS exhaust and a header on. I wanna do some more to the engine, but keep it as non-turbo. You guys have any idea?

Higher compression... I've been trying to find a new cam shaft, but seems like no one makes them.

swap
You could get some speed out of your car if you put some nitrous on it. How much "performance" are you looking to get? If you expect to get much lower than a 16 in the quarter, you are probably gonna have to consider FI.

FI? I'm not quiet sure about nitrous, since I don't know much about it, and isn't it bad for your engine or something? basicly I want to keep my car Non-turbo and not supercharged.

maybe a new intake manifold or a vafc2 would be a good for a few ponies. high flow cats on our cars sound horrible. it's gonna be super loud and ricey. i know i got one.

nitrous oxide is non-turbo and not supercharged.

used sparingly and in smaller amounts limits the damage it can do to your engine.

Pullies underdrive your accessories, so you won't have as much power for a big system. I don't think pulleys will hurt for accessories. Crank pulley, however, is a different story.

Here's what I have done. I guess all the 1-2hp stuff adds up.

-Thermal Rear Section Exhaust -Ground Wire Kit -K&N fipk Air Intake -NGK Iridium Spark Plugs -Apexi VAFC-II -Optima Yellow Battery -Sun Hyper Voltage System -Ceramic Header -DH Racing Ported Head Work
