Default best horsepower gain for the bucks?

I'm new to the world of s2k's, and since i just bought it, i don't have all the money in the world to buy a supercharger. What are the best ways to get some horsepower out of this thing without spending 5K's?

Thanks for the advice....I was told that nos won't hurt my engine as long as i don't put more than a 50 shot in there, so i might do that.

it's not the amout of nitrous your spraying that will hurt your engine, it's detonation... with the proper tuning a 100 shot wet system would be totally safe.

NOS - this might be the solution to more power? Is it really totally safe on this engine, I thought it was a NO-NO for the F20c? Does it void the warranty? Can anyone recommend any tuners in the SoCal area? What are the advantages and disadvantages to a NOS setup, other than the can't always use it problem.

Thanks.

I`m happy with my Supercharger.

I`ve used NOS on 3 Hondas and have had very good experiences. Kit needs to be installed correct and you must be responsible w/ it. 90% of the time it`s the owner that blows the motor.

I`m not a huge bolt-ons fan for our car. I`d put the money into suspension, brakes, or a good driving school.
