You talking about a sticker?

If so, dont. Contrary to popular belief, stickers do NOT add wheel horsepower.

But its your car, do what you want.

Word. The only VTEC you can utilize is VTEC. No i-Vtec on the D B F or H series. Just on the K.

But, even then, do you want to spend upwards of 500 bucks for a 10whp increase?

I didnt think so. Because thats about what you would spend to convert over. Take that 500 bucks and get the Hasport K series mount kit for the swap youve got coming

I think if you've got boost coming, getting headers and an intake is a complete waste of money.

If you agreed that $500+ for 10 HP was a waste, then you'll love the fact that 550-600 dollars will get you maybe 3-5 HP

That's not even counting the downpipe or catback exhaust. Makes the head swap look pretty damn tempting, eh?
