i had a greddy on order but the place i ordered it from dicked around to much and side they hadnt got any and the no one could so i cancelled that order and went somewhere else.

as for the hks it didnt have and ic and no ems so that would have been another 1000 at least and the rev hard was a decent kit and got a pretty good price on it

first thing i say you get is hondata k-pro cuz no matter what mod you do either N/a or F/I your gonna need it later... plus if you get a cold air you could change the tune of kpro to the CAI calibration, then a race header, cams, whatever there is even ITB's but its a standard calibration... but if i had a chance to start my car all over again id get that first... and ohh i have an arc w/suction tube and i like it... not as loud as a CAI or as must HP as one but mid range its better plus u dont really hvae to worry about getting hydrolocked... arc
