Default Power question

whats up everyone.
I just recently accuried my accord and deffinately wanted to beef up the power but not too drastically just like 50 to 75 more horse and I would like to stay forced induction free... so I was thinking about typical air flow mods like the AEM V2, probably megan racing headers, a remus exhaust, nology wires, and maybe an msd ignition... I was also thinking about lightly upgrading the fuel system too.... is there any thing else I could do or I should consider... like would it be cheaper to do a motor swap? Oh and does the prelude h22 head bolt up to the f22/23 at all? I had some friends debating this a while ago and I have been curious ever sense. thanks guys.

50-75 horsepower cannot be gained with minor modifications......maybe 8-10 is more realistic. Major work and expense is in the cards for those kind of power gains.

yeah... I just researched it.. thanks for taking the time to respond though... yeah, I was thinking more along the lines of like 10 -15% more horse and torque.... the deal is that I will probably have this car for the next 3 years at least and will probably end up giving it to my little sister as a first car so I dont want to make it super over the top, just minor mods... in all I just want it to be a nice car even though any car is a nice first car. thanks again... 50...hahaha, wow, its late.

I just bought a faster car, it was cheaper than trying to make me last one go faster (transmission problems)
