Question Upgrading a 5sfe!?!

Hey PPL~
I have a 90 Celica hatchback GT with a 5sfe....
I am in procces of installing a Q1 bodykit, eclipse-style spoiler, rims, seats, swapping the ugly red carpet w/ blue and doing anything to get rid of the red elsewher.
My question is, what all can i do to make my engine, 2.2 5sfe, faster. The response could be better, it kinda delays when i quickly hit the gas and let off. I could go with Nitrous or forced induction but i want a solid engine to build around but dunno where to start.
Cams and such are hard to find... What can i do to make my engine a solid potential racer and daily driver all at the same time?
And yes, i do have Short Ram Intake and custom exhaust.
PlEaSSSEE Help~

You need engine upgrades. get the standard header, intake and exhaust. Get some cams and gears, some new pistons, if you have the cash put a turbo or supercharger in it, depending on what you like better.

Exclamation

Hey, thanks for the site... But are they worth 500?? Are the headers on ebay worth it. I see them occasionally, but i never thought they would give significant HP gains.
thanks

Re: Upgrading a 5sfe!?!

oh n btw never get mor than 3" pipes on ur 5sfe, most likel;y u should get 2'5 inch pipes, if u get too big ull lose alot of backpressure and actually end up losing Hp instead of gaining it
