H23 Vtec is the only way that you will beat that mini-van.

okay to answer your question...

the best bang for your buck is ITR cams...

They can be had for about 300 a set and will give you over 10whp without a problem. The best "bolt on" there is... if u can call cams a bolt on.

Why not build a car for yourself, instead of "trying" to smoke your friend. That has to be one of the dumbest reasons to modify a car. ...........
So you spend 3k trying to beat your friend in a race whats that going to accomplish? Now you've won a race against your buddy who has a stock car yipee. And as your pulling around a corner after the race (i can almost guarantee it's going to be on a public street) some guy lines up next to you with his hybrid civic hb that is turbo'd, he kills you ...then what your on a quest to build a faster car then that guy?? There is always going to be a faster car somwhere. Hell I had the fastest honda around(my area) for the longest while, now I'm sure there is someone else that has a faster honda then me now because i really don't care about beating the guy next to me at the light, to me it's about beating that guy in the camaro,mustang,or even the vett at the track.
You can have two identicle cars same exact set-up and making the same exact power, but only one will come out on top, because it comes down to the driver ability....
Don't mean to ramble on but is it worth spending that much money only to beat your friend? You should be working with him not against him..

Uh 10:38 PST..........Stick up my ***..yeah sure...
I'm just sick of all these idiots around where i live.... nothing but (excuse the old played out term) ricers... I still have my civic but choose not to drive it on the street because i cant even go to the grocery store with my daughter without some immature punk reving his engine at me, which brings unwanted attention to me because of the other dumbass....I don't need that kind of attention i'm not 18 y/o.
I love my car and i've owned it for over 6 years, but it's imabarassing to be classified with most of the import crowd (where i live)....

I bring that up because latley it seems as though everybody has become obsessed with beating this guy or that guy and not enjoying the hobby of modifying their car like when i first got into cars.
I have people saying "oh i raced him (speaking of me) and beat him badly...
ok for one that race never happend ( don't street race)
and two the people saying thes things only have the basic bolt-ons with the stock sohc....nothing wrong with that but a civic with 105whp doesn't stand much of a chance against one with over twice the power.....(not trying to sound errogant)....
It used to be everybody hanging out having a good time, enjoying their cars, now it's loud **** cans, with wings that recieve satalite tv (if turned correctly), and a lot of punks (maybe it's just taking a while for the trends to reach up here, but i want nothing to do with it....I never meant to rag on this guy (original post), and I still don't. I guess it came out a little strong, and sounded derogatory...
