First of all is there not anyone over seeing this forum? All of the viagra adds, what the is going on?

I have an 2002 Camry 4cyl and auto. Have added k&n. Is there anything else bolt on or exhaust I can do to improve the already great performance?
Please advise

The 4 cylinder was built for economy and is difficult to improve HP wise.

There are exhaust headers, improved cams, installing a turbo has been done many times with very good results.

Any real HP improvements require a lot of money.

Did yoy say k&n drop in? Get a cold air intake hks mega reloaded filter, a new straight through muffler will give you up to 10 horse same with the intake and hks filter. Oh lol and get a five speed!

You can get a Burien Turbokit but you'll have to do the the things to prepare your NT like lower compression pistons, different fuel injectors, all the things you need before your car can handle a turbo.

is there anyway rather than that? I recently ask for Burien Turbokit but its too much for my budget.

Sounds trite, but I have noticed a few better mpg's and a sweeter sound from my 4cyl auto by simply spoiling it, fluid wise. Full synthetic every 3 months, also a flush just before each change, and some Lucas or other synthetic stabilizer after, and always midgrade fuel. The difference was substantial after my first two changes, and I can now pass on the highway with ease, whereas before I struggled to overtake a stop sign.
