Default What to do to get a little more horses

I have a prelude 92 type S, I love the car its an automatic but I still love it. I use it as a daily driver but I use to drive a camaro V8, I love this car and the handling it gives me but I am a little sad at the loss of horses . I love the gas milige it gives me 25-30 . I want to mod it a little to give me a few extra horses and still not kill me in gas millage. (Mods all ready done cool air intake with conical filter, Iat sensor resister.) Thanks.

nothing that will give you any noticeable gains. unless you use nitrous. since it's an automatic it wont handle a lot of power anyway. focus on making it handle better i say.

I've been thinking about an engine swap and a traney change and just screw just playing around with all the little thing. Anyone know how much that will run me I'm guessing 3000-5000.

Default some help for you

I have some ideas for you since i build cars, theres shaving the head, cams(crower stage 2),aem true power pulleys,raceing wires &coil, ajustable camgears,chips, coldair intake,and thats just the surface of it all.
if you have an at tranny you can get a tranny overhaull kit and it will be alot cheaper to do all of this then a swap. trust me all of this will give you a great amount of horsepower, the pulley themself willgive you 2 1/2 horses and about 15-20 extra miles per hour.
contact me if you need more help at hondapre89@yahoo.com

love how those geniuses with these profound tuning ideas always, without fail, disappear when it comes to backing up their claims.. 15-20 mph, thats the peak of stupidity.... since when does drag on the crank change top speed? thats one of the worst ones yet.
