lol ejay...anyways back on topic.

This has been asked alot...thus the "stupid" responses...Spade did a great thread on SOHC (thats what you have) upgrades and BauleyCivic did an extensive write-up on what you'd all need in order to do a "mini-me" setup.

Just search next time

Btw: You probably have a d16y7...which is good for boost too so some would argue using the money on a VTEC head and just go boost.

people here love to flame because they got picked as kids (probably still) and they have no real life friends off this board. ride and die for honda-tech~!

anyway, here's my .o2: how much is it costing you? if you're doing it yourself, go for it. otherwise no.
