How can I add Some HP???, Easy ways to add horse power? Options

Hello Everyone,

First off I would just like to say thankyou for everyone who posts on this web site, I have found out so many different things just by reading other posts. Again this is a great site, thankyou all.

Anyway,
I own a '96 Celica GT with a 5s-fe. I currently have:
NGK Plugs
Catback exhaust 2.25" pipeing
CAI

My car has 148,000 miles on it and I was just wondering how I can get some more horse power out of it without swapping and without throwing in a turbo (seems like alot of miles to turbo, prolly a waste...). At this point I am kind of out of ideas. I was thinking of putting an MSD ignition box in, however I was reading on here that I will see little to nothing by doing so. I also thought about adding one of those "racing chips". Again, I read on this site that these are crap.

I am pretty much learning as I go. Every performance upgrade to my car I have performed (except exhaust) so I am not afraid to get my hands dirty. Any thoughts or ideas will be highly appreciated...

ok so how do we add horse power to our cars for god sake with OUT turboing it or addin nitrous..basically there car 3 mods for these things with out spendin over a couple hundred dollers...CAI,Exhaust/headers, and timing..i have come to realize that these cars are NOT fast..they were built more for handeling..you wanna have fun with it and stop worring about hp? take it to a damn road corse and watch how good these things handel....and with only a little bit of susopension work they are next to untouchable for the price range they are in...you want fast?? 3SGTE is you answer or for the money straight up american muscle..which i am now onto....350 camaro (f Body) which was just stolen last tuesday and i found it amazingly...not to get off the topic but really we just have to live with the fact they arent the fastest cars and arent going to be...just make it nice and enjoy haveing a 6gc origonal sick looking body style that they are
