RE: HOnda civic 1993 more hp and torque
in all honesty, nothing you do to it (short of nitrous, a supercharger, or a turbo) will make much of a difference with it being an automatic.
I'd say spend the money and swap out the transmission for a manual one... it doesn't seem to be too hard (from what I've seen, reaching up under the dash to bolt in the pedal assemblies is the hardest part), and it's not too expensive (the new clutch will be the most expensive thing you buy)... I think you'd be able to have it in the car and running for $1500 or less.
Oh, and look into getting a header. It'll help a little bit, but probably won't be noticeable.
