Default Want to upgrade my integra but dont know where to start

I just recieved a 1999 Acura Integra 4 door automatic that has 97,000 miles on it. The only upgrade I have for my engine is an AEM cold air intake. I was wondering what I should do first in order to make my Integra go faster and perform better?
Thanks,
C

you'll be limited with that auto tranny. first, figure out your goals for the car, what type of driving you'll be doing, and how much money you're willing to dump into it.
