remove the baffleing for the air intake and drill decent size (3/8ths-1/2") holes in the BOTTOM of the box... then get a drop in k&n filter... that should be pretty good.
then if you want cheap but ok... you could go to a local muffler shop and have them put bigger pipping from the cat back... most honda guys think this is lame and you have to buy some retarded trendy catback but it's just not the case... if you relieve a little backpressure off the catback section it'll make a decent amount of difference... other than that there are no real computer de=tuning sensors... like on some turbo cars.. other than that you could pull you intake manifold and polish it and maybe bore out the stock tb and intake... you could p&P your head but I wouldn't really recomend it... mostly cuz you could damage something but also because it won't do much till you have some more flow needs do to other mods... speed costs unfortunately.

everything below the box...
You have to take off the bumper... there's a screw mounting it to the fender on either side and then the strip of screws under the hood.... then you pull out that big black box that sits under the bumper on the passenger side... then you can take out the stock box and drill holes in it (JUST THE BOTTOM) DO NOT drill holes on the top side of the box that fits over the filter... there are a couple of bolts holding that black box in so be patient and don't just yank hard. the snorkle leads into the box (which is the baffleing) it's all one piece... good luck. If you're desperate I can take pics but that won't be till the end of the weekend.

I wouldn't blindly advance the timing like that you are REALLY likely to run into serious detonation problems.
as far as pics I have a cai so pics of my setup won't do anything...

if you know how you can tune the distibutor, but otherwise i wouldent recommend it. Tell him to get a cold air intake. My friend got his on ebay for like $36
