Opinions on my new setup
First off, this is my daily driver and I am not looking to put down massive amounts of power. Just a few minor mods to give it a bit more power.
1998 GSR 125k
Current setup:
-DC Header
-Short Ram intake w/ K&N filter
-Skunk2 S1 cams
-H&R Sports w/ KYB AGX
-VAFC
Plans:
-S2 Cam Gears
-JDM **** header w/ 2.5" collector
-JDM **** intake manifold
-2.5" Carsound cat
-Apexi WS2 catback
-OBD2 -> OBD1 conversion harness
-P28 w/ crome
-LOTS of dyno time and tuning
Anything I am forgetting? Anything you would substitute? With good tuning what gains should I expect?

Anyone think it is worth upgrading my springs & retainers at this time or will the stock ones be alright?</TD></TR></TABLE>
upgrade that valve train so you can rev up higher!! hondas make their power at high rpms

I think the Apex exhaust will be fine for such a mild application, don't want to go too big...
As far as your springs and retainers go, if you can find a good deal, go for it, I don't know how high you can rev a stock GSR valvetrain but I've hard those cams usually make power to around 8500ish on b18cs.. not to mention someday you might want a bigger cam and more power...
Other than that, good street setup, I plan on doing a nearly identical one in the near future so keep us updated when you dyno it
