Well, it all depends what u want from your car and what are your plans for it.
I would say;
1) Good suspension
2) Brake upgrade = pads , etc...
3) cams and upgraded valvetrain.
4) then take some driving school classes so u can learn how to drive your car and get the most out of it.

yep. then you could sell your I/H and put that money towards the turbo kit. if you wanna stay NA, you could get cams, do headwork, and/or get a v-afc. but who wants to stay NA anyways. go turbo.

wow! you got four strut bars? You mean struts right, if you plan on doing weekend drag racing then just focus on engine upgrades or buy a type-r shortblock (b18c5) since you have a b16 head already and upgrade the valvetrain and get new cams, intake manifold etc......you got enough cash to do it I think

Re: what to do with a 99 si? ([VTEC]TL)
if i was to get a turbo i think tuning would be the biggest issue. i live in northeastern pa and i have no idea of any tunning/dyno shops around. does anyone of any within a reasonable drive?
bump for the info

all mota! Get some KYB AGX's go to along with your springs. You might want to consider replacing your bolt-ons too if they are shitty. Then yank the head, throw in some Skunk2 Stage1's, Skunk2 Valvetrain w/ flat bottom valves, mugen 1-layer head gasket, get a VAFC and FPR, and get that bitch on a dyno.
BTW> What are your bolt-ons? Be brand-specific and model-specific... such as USDM DC Sports 4-2-1, or so on.

Re: what to do with a 99 si? (JDM B-Series)
Yea, i have the same car. I don't have any dyno numbers, but I will on Thursday as she's going to get tuned. As of right now, my best 1/4 mile is 14.7@96mph with really bad traction. I have a lot of **** done to my car though. With basic bolt-ons, you can usually break the 15.0 barrier with 99-00 Si's. When I had i/h/e -- shitty i/h/e might I add -- i hit 15.0@91mph.
Hit me up on AIM, maybe i can give you some more advice with your car. my AIM is in my signature.

All of these turbo guys, i want a turbo for mine, but just go with a Vortech Supercharge, they make some mean power on the b16a engines, it's around 250 + and it's boost on demand, thats about the cost of one kit, the money u have.
