Well I dont know aton about LS... but if you dont plan on going boost.... Id say the first thing you want to do is get a shorter geared tranny... B16 or GSR and im sure you will notice alot more "pep" from that... Id also suggest a set of cams... Intake manifold... a bigger Throttle body... nice exhaust set up.. Lightened Flywheel.. decent clutch... and a GOOD tune.. also weight reduction would play a big role in your car perform decently

Crower has some decent all motor cams for a really good price. They will help get the air in and the exhaust out a little better. Get a good intake manifold, TB and intake for the air going in and get a decent header (not ebay) and a decent exhaust and u should be set.

If i were to make suggestions.....this is the path i would take. IN ORDER.(ive done some research, but not a ton so call me out if im wrong people)
1) b16 tranny or gsr tranny.
2)header/intake/exhaust.
3)b16/gsr/or type r head.
4) Some sort of tuning program (hondata w/dyno time)

If it were mine, id stick with the LS. Kinda like my motor now.

Its a 2.2l LS. Good HP and Good TQ.

But then again, the only thing stock on my motor is the cast itself.
