i assume your talking about the car in your signature?
if so u should get Integra type-r or civic type-r cams and maybe a TUNE if u dont have one already. looks like u got a bunch of parts installed already thats why.

umm maybe the .4 more liters of displacement...thats why. the downside is the thinner cylinder walls. but for an all motor b20/vtec it should be fine

Gains won't be very big, that just shifts the power around. Long skinny runners make power lower, short fat runners make it higher up.

a tune would cost around 400 bucks or so. so unless you have the supporting mods for that, me personally, i couldn't justify spending that much money. you can even get gsr cams. not as agressive as itr or ctr cams, but a decent upgrade from stock b16 cams. you could get a new clutch, tires. or even preventive maintenance. fuel filter, oil filter, plugs, wires, cap rotor...that sort of thing.
