Increasing Horsepower/Torque in 5sfe? Options

[RyuCelica]

Hi everybody,

I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to tuning engines to increase speed/horsepower. I have a 94 Celica GT with a 5sfe engine. I want to increase the power but I'm not looking for power that a turbo or supercharger would give. I just want to increase the horsepower by as much possible without turning to a turbo or supercharger. Basically. I just want the Celica to run a bit faster.

So my question is: What do I need in order to increase the horsepower/torque of my 5sfe engine without looking into turbos or superchargers?
My starting point is exhaust headers but I don't know what else i could get.

Thanks!

Listen to the podcasts too - the earlier ones go through a lot of this stuff. Basically, nothing cheap and bolt-on will give you any worthwhile gains on a 5S IMHO. Any increased with pod filters / exhaust etc. on a stock 5S is just going to make you FEEL faster. Spend money on some good maintenance and just let it run as well as it possibly could from the factory.
