Default Performance?

I am thinking of buying an 96' accord ex with a 4 cyl. I was wondering what performance parts work best and wether or not it is worth my time and $ to try and get more ponies out of this little engine. I have heard that they can realy make alot of power. Any info will be a huge help.

We go over this every week...it's not worth the money unless you're going forced induction.

i have a 96 ex, it's quite blah compared to my GSR... even with I/H/E it just doesnt do the job... if you want performance get a 96/97 with all the amenities (leather/moonroof) and then use the extra money you saved to install a turbo kit
