Buy a B18B1. Slightly more power, there's more torque.

the only way to make a single cam quick is by boosting it, you can do all the n/a mods in the world to it and it would still be slooow.

just my 3 cents.

Is it an EX or SI model? If not I'd do the mini-me head swap with P28 ECU. Then probably start working on the intake side of the engine by adding a D16y8 Intake Manifold, Hondata Intake manifold gasket, bigger throttle body and a Cold air intake. You can make a decently fast daily driver with a Single Cam.
