Okay I still can't figure this out, please explain to me how this works...
The 2.4l engine is only making 160bhp, while my buddies celica is 1.8 making 185bhp.. other than the compression ratio tc 9.6-1 and the celica is 10.5-1 why in the world is his making so much more power. I thought by increasing fuel to the engine I might make quite a bit more horsepower. My friend said I would gain a little but waste a ton of fuel running the engine really rich. I just want 200 hp without forced induction any solutions?

Say with modest cam changes and maybe some head work (porting) and after adjusting the valves what kind of hp/tq gains could one expect?

I am not talking about switching the heads thats messy I used to do that with hondas, sumthing always didn't work, I talking about some cam's for the tc from crane or someone like that, with the upgrade fuel system and intake.

I'm thinking like this...
Fuel rail, fuel pump, upgrade injectors 550cc, feul regulator
Cai intake, alpha works throttle body
Camshafts, titanium springs and retainers, valve adjustments

I've got pricesbreaks on everything but the camshafts I was wondering if anyone could tell me if for the bank I'm thinking of spending is the hp/tq gains worth it.

Also I still thinking turbo/nos down the road so these parts would help me later.

I have nothing against FI I want to prepare my motor for turbo later, but I was wondering what kind of gains can be achived with the modifications listed in my second post. Lo bux yes I was thinking e-manage. I can't be the only one thinking that 2.4l inline four can't be made to make more power, jeez my 1.6 honda made more powerand more torque with a few bolt ons.
