I Own A 1996 Acura Integra Ls Automatic
I Was Wondering How I Could Add More Horsepower Without Spending A Ton Of Money, I Also Dont Want To Have To Have To Upgrade My Computer System.
I Already Own A Exhaust (Not Cat-Back)
A Spectra Cold Air Intake

So If Anybody Could Help Me By Letting My Know Anything I could Add That Would Add Some Extra Power
Please And Thank You

Can't do much because a lot of the upgrades require a tune and if you buy low quality stuff you get low quality performance. If you want horsepower you've got to pay for it?

No, a tune means taking it to a shop and having them manage fuel/ignition mapping etc, not some ebay chip or ecu. Intake header and a real catback exhaust (a muffler is not an exhaust, it just makes your car louder and has no performance value) as has been stated many times on here. There is almost nothing you can do for real power that is cheap, particularly with the auto. Gut your interior or something, that's free.

Nail on the head....my question is what engine your running? Based off the engine your running will determine how easy/hard it is to get hp.

He isn't trying to spend a lot of money so he can't go too far...

Try this approach. How much money do you want to spend? Now work with that. You're not gonna spend anymore than you want to or can do that should set your goals or options

actually thats the best bang for the buck.. its free and less weight = faster acceleration,throttle response & better handling.. thats what I did, 2 days with a few tools and took out 100lbs of extra weight, not including the CF hood I got too
