Default What are some ways to boost hp stock?

People have been asking me if I'll do any mods. I'm not really into heavy upgrades, but just wanna add some hp without touching the engine. Any suggestions? Bigger intake? Headers?

Can't go wrong with bolt-ons, Header, intake, exhaust and gears. Comptechs are carb legal and are very good. Also, you could use a V-AFC to lower v-tec engagement and squize some more hp. All depends on your goals for your S and since you mentioned your not into heavy upgrades, I'm guessing you want to stay street legal and very reliable. Those mods should give you the best bang for the buck without going with boost IMO.

strip the car down to 2300 and you'll feel it move.

You can't add more than 10% hp with bolt ons.
You can add +50% hp by FI.
Technically a SC doesn't really touch the engine anymore than a CAI
