I'm a total n00b when it comes to cars. (i'm a computer guy).
I'm just looking for the easiest, cheapest, fastest way to get some more power out of my car. I have some friends that know car stuff though, so they can help me.

There a variety of bolt on option for your car. Getting the engine to breath easier is the best start. A cold air intake and a performance exhaust would set you back about $1000. But for the but, you are going to sacrifice comfort because there will be more noise in the cabin of the car. I put my Accord back to stock because I couldn't take the exhaust noise. Do you think some nice rims, tinted windows, and maybe just maybe a little drop would give the looks to off-set the 10 to 20 HP gain you might get and you will still be driving your lady around in comfort. Just my opinion.

intake, exhaust and high flow cats...guys are seeing good gains with just those

If im not mistaken, a supercharger was made for that year...yep i was right

power isn't cheap man. Tl's already have decent power. improve your driving skills.

Leave it stock!!! TLs arent made for racing! Jus playing.
If u must do something to it go with a K&N drop in and a decent exhaust system with high flow cats.
I keep my TL completely stock except for tints and rims. If i want to go crazy i just drive my accord.
