If you have the LX, a turbo would do the trick, but like he said, all about the $$$. If it's an auto you'll be fighting the transmission quite a bit, the 0-60 difference between the manual and the auto is like 2 seconds alone. Obviously you can do the intake and exhaust (with a header) and probably get 160-170hp out of it (if it's an EX), or 140-150 if its an LX. Ideally you want the EX and a stick in that generation, unless you're going to boost it. But the big thing you will be fighting with that motor is the SOHC, whether it's VTEC or not.
