Default b20B 97 hatch, how to unleash more power?

running
stock b20b (126hp stock)
gsr LSD
intake, RSR ex mag
chipped ecu
ran 15.6 at fontana

* i know dis motor has more power. what should i throw in? 404 cams from crower?
this motor sucks for the freeway, i only get 240mi on the tank
4300rpm on the freeway, sorta high. probably cuz dis is a suv motor.
i was thinking of just get a simple b16, low on gas, still some good power or just b18c

15s sound right for that motor. It has no top end, its all torque. It would do great in the 1/8th but then die out on the 1/4 so you get times like you did.

Something you could do is squeeze, its quick and cheap. If you want to go all motor try getting a B16 head.

yup. i was only 85mph in the quarter mile so i did a 15.6 w/ a 1.6 reaction time. pretty good first time at the track. i thought a lot of people like this motor. well i guess its a good motor... only to vtec it or turbo. but that means a lot of more $. im just go b18c vtec cuz i want sum fast right out of the box. that b20 can climb up moutains w/ no problems.

also i use to have a 94 LS teg. stock b18b motor
intake/header/exhaust
no pow. steering (unleash lots of torque)
that thing felt more power than the b20. but the b20 is a lot smoother.

i think i need headers and straight pipe.
