I didn't see a boost option so I didn't know what to tell you and then I don't know what you are looking for out the motor.

I would start w/ i/h/e. Go from there. But what are you wanting from the car? Drag, auto x.

If you know what you want to do w/ it, will make it easier to focus on a goal.

i'd say all the above EXCEPT the bottom 5. That being said, its a sohc, you cant do much with it besides boost. Even if you do get the bottom 5, youll gain like what a total of 9 whp, "not being tuned". No point of being tuned either. I'd say enjoy the gas mileage, and get a different project car, unless ur boosting. I have a 98 EX and man, just with the bottom 5, i can give a gsr a pretty good run, but get wooped by 3rd gear! On the highway, I gave a that same gsr a good run, sticking to 3rd gear but as soon as i shifted to 4th, WOW he took off. Anyway, i'd say get a different car!!!!
