Default Headers/Intake = what kind of gains? (95 stock civic LX)

What gains would adding these headers and an intake give me?

http://prostreetonline.com/buy...1-101/

How would these mods affect the stock quarter mile time/trap and daily driving?

Thanks!

im assuming that you paid a shop to do all your work on your gtp. but back to the question, yes, they would help a lot, the gains are controversal, because one person may say x hp why another says x+ hp. 5-10 hp maybe. better to save and get a z6 head [giving you vtec]. youd end up with more power than the header and intake combined.

No I did alot of the work on the gtp. I didn't install any tranny parts but I did install the headers, exhaust, intake, pcm, injectors, tstat, rockers, cam, retainers, valve seals, springs, and the AFC.

I DO know how GPs will react to headers/intake but not a 95 civic. I am just curious, and am not here to collect insults from strangers.

Where can I find z6 heads?

my bad, i didnt mean for it to come off as an insult. check in the classifieds. bout 100-200 used. all youll need after that is a d16z6 timing belt and a p28 ecu and run a wire for the vtec. also the wiring for the iavc, i think its a 2 wire [ur current motor] to a 3 wire [z6 head].

OK no problem, thanks for the info.

So how about if I added the Z6 head, different ECU, intake, header, and larger exhaust pipes to the 95 LX civic. What kind of 1/4 times/traps are possible on street tires?

Are there any other reasonably priced mods that could be done to it aside from a turbo?

Thanks!

stock i believe is liks 17.8 [correct me if im wrong] with all the bolt-ons [before FI or all-motor] probably like low 16's high 15's [maybe] but consider this, if you spend all the money for i/h/e, your most of the way there for a turbo [custom or kit]. also, an unorthodox underdrive pulley is very helpful. helps your revs shoot up much quicker. if you got the cash do it, if not, jut buy a decent catback exhuast, ebay short ram intake, 4-1 header [some ppl say 4-2-1. very debatable],
hi flow cat.

You'll be lucky to even get 10hp.

I would say gains in the 5hp range, +/- 2hp or so. You may get a peak gain of say 6hp at 4400rpm, but your peak power may only rise 2hp.
