Default Need help... To friggen slow!

Hey every1... I have a '00 civic EX, with the sohc v-tec engine, and I was happy with it for a while... I've put a cold air intake, short shift, new spark plugs and wires, and an exhaust on it. But I'm writing this post at 1AM now because I was just driving on the highway and some stupid Toyota was definately quicker than me... So my question is... what can i do to be fast?!?! I'm just looking for any suggestions... Anything short of an engine swap! Thanks a lot!!

Sorry dood , I just had to say it.

Seriously though. What kind of Toyota did it resemble? If it was a Supra , better start working that overtime.

F*ck a turbo just yet. GEt B series like txhatch said to do. He knows what he's talkin about and I totally agree. I love my B18C1, but I dunno... If I could turn back time, I may have gone with an LS motor and turboed it. If you can't afford like $8,000 but closer to $5-6,000 then go with an LS turbo setup. jkan2001 has a nice EX turbo and I'll admit, it's quick as shit, but if you anna put out more power, I'd recommend B-series Turbo. Take your time with your car and do it right, the way you really want to. I waited 3 years for my B18C1 and I'm thinkin about body styling now(as my birthday approaches, along with Nopi), then Turboing it.
