Buy a new automatic car that's not a integra. Mercedes comes to mind 
There's no easy way to increase power in a automatic because you'll be forced to buy expensive parts. For example to tune, a standalone is needed. AEM Retail Price $2000 and you haven't even bought the turbo or super charger yet.
The simplest way would be to buy a header, highflow cat, exhaust and intake. Then call it a day. Anything past that will be serious money, I'm not sure your willing to put into a older discontinued model.

^ agreed. Figure out how much power you want, find a car that's built the way you like, sell yours and pay the difference out of your own pocket.
or
NOS is cheap bang for buck but unrealiable and hard and expensive to tune if you want it to be reliable.
or
You can always swap in a larger displacement motor like a B20 which sells for around a grand. Sell yours for 400 bucks and you'll be pretty happy with the results. more torque a bit more hp.
or
FI. But that's a whole monster in itself.
or
Bolt-ons. I/H/E but it's a lot money for the good stuff for what amounts to a couple extra hp, more noise and better throttle response.
