best ways to tune a 1998 honda civic ex?

I have a 1998 honda civic ex, and i was woundering what are some tips to help quicken it up, i already have a cold air intake on it but am not sure what else to do to it.

First step is to finish up the breathing... header, cat and exhaust. If you don't mind a little white knuckle turning in parking lots then bypass the power steering and in the cold season bypass the a/c. If it is an auto then swap out the transmission for manual and when you do that put on a lightweight flywheel and/or clutch. Definitely try to get rid of some weight, it can be free and will improve every aspect of your vehicles performance, and make sure to stay away from large rims because they are heavier unless you spend a lot of money on lightweight ones. You could also do carbon fiber parts, lightweight windows, under drive pulleys, camshaft, im, im gasket, wrap the header, tb, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, engine swap, built head, nos and so on.

Nos is a nice option for extra power at the push of a button, some will tell you it will burn up your engine but guess what... so will your right foot. If you are responsible with nos it can be fine, you could probably get away with a 35 shot safely on stock internals.

Chipping it would be an improvement but you want to do that after you are content with the rest of your mods so that the chip is tuned properly... DON'T BUY OFF EBAY FOR CHIPS, have a reputable shop do it, best option would be to have a knowledgable shop put it on a dyno and tune it right, that will probably earn you about 7 whp. ebay chip = 0-5 whp or maybe even worse than stock if your unlucky.

It all depends on your budget and how fast you wanna go.
