I am on a limited budget and wondering how i could best boost the power of my 1996 5spd accord

You could take off your intake resonator... thats all I can think of right now...

Intake/Headers/Exhaust are the typical responses you get first. They are easy to find, typically pretty cheap, and typically easy to install. If you do some searching on this site, you should find plenty of information on what to purchase and where, so as to know where to shop and what to buy.

Are you talking budget like free stuff or cheap? lol
