4cyl. performance boosts?

Just wondering what I can do. My brother is convinced that vornado intakes make a difference while I am still skeptical. I am listening to any kind of suggestions here! Thanks

yeah, well... I am mechanically inclined. I am very inclined... I will learn how to do anything (or ruin my car in the process! lol) I have resources to do anything, but the thing to consider is availability of parts. I don't know if I can find any suzuki swift parts, let alone modified parts. So yeah, I guess my concern is anything realistic?

what the heck would a new stock head do for me? I would think it would be retarded to replace and induce risk I don't need on my car when my current head is perfectly fine o.O - unless of course it is some sort of enhanced head that would give me 20+ more HP... then I would think about it

I meant to send out and have it modofied so you didn't have to tear yours down. It's brand new installed on an engine here at work but the car spit a rod before it left the bay. I have pics if you are interested.
Boss just said he'd take 200
