Default Ignition problem solved!

I posted a while back becasue my car had ignition trouble. The car would stumble at lower rpms and was hard to start. I checked for vacume leaks, but found none. I had a new distributor cap, accel wires, and bosch plugs. Because everything was new I figured I was ok. It turns out that accel wires and bosch plugs did not work well on my B16. I swapped those out for some smaller 7mm NGK wires and NGK plugs and the car runs like a champ. Aparently, the stock ignition can hold up to 500 hp. a local guy runs this setup and his car runs 11.4. He also said some guys like the factory integra type R wires. any comments??

I always recommend using NGK plugs in Honda's. I was surprised how often we see this type of issue in a Civic and pin point the problem back to either Bosch plugs, or after market ignition parts. (not saying they are bad, just not good on Honda's I have seen)
