Default Bought an LS, now what?

I recently bought an Integra LS, and want to tune it, but i dont know what to do, or what to expect. This is a long term project, but money will still be a big issue. Motor swaps and boost are definitely out of the question, thanks

LSV!
slap on a gsr head, higher compression pistons (itr's will suffice), cams/sprockets/valve springs/retainers and u'r basically set...oh and before i forget, make sure to invest a 'bit on security (ie, connecting rods/arp head studs/stronger head gasket,etc)...and search, you'll find shitloads of info on this topic...happy tuning -alek

i have an ls. this is the steps im taking and have already taken are as follows.
start with
-i/h/e
-cam gears
-cam shafts
-valve spring and retainer upgrade
-intake manifold
-hondatas100

If you want to go real serious about all motor try a ls/vtec conversion or swap a gsr motor in the ls.

you do not have a need for a hondata or uberdata unless you have cams. there is no reason to do so other wise. you can do this step by step and work your way to a great car or you can save up for a while and slap in a turbo.

Im counting LS-V as a motor swap because of its cost =\. What can i expect to run if I get the whole deal, as in I/H/E Cams and gears, valves springs and retainers, and such?

i suggest i/h/e and aem pulleys. that should keep you happy for awhile then do cams and cam gears.

I was originally thinking of just waiting til i graduate (this year) and just selling this car and getting a GSR before i go to college, and i wouldnt mind driving the car stock. The car itself is fun to drive, but i want something a little better then stock for the time being.
