What's your budget? How fast are you looking to go?
And what model year are you dealing with?

Hardly anyone has given the CRV much attention in terms of tuning.
Jackson Racing offered a supercharger back in the late 90s, but good luck trying to find a kit nowadays.
Any mods that will produce enough power to run with decently fast cars will not be smog legal and will cost more.

sell the newer car get an older one to fix up and it will be really fast get an older hatchback or crx and gut it swap it with a b18a or something and get a bad ass turbo or a shot of nitrous, let the car looking stock, stock exhaust to save money and keep it stealth for the cops, youll roll up out there lookin like shit but youll smoke some nice ass rides and make people really pissed
