Default 06 Civic DX/EX/LX 1.8 short shift question

Hi. I am a noob to this forum, so kick me please.

OK. I have an '06 Civic Coupe, not SI. I have upgraded to an AEM CAI, Magnaflow exhaust, and have had my ECU flashed by JET. Not looking to drop much more money into this beast, but I've searched and searched and SEARCHED, looking for a short throw shifter for this. I am really partial to the Skunk2, but can't seem to find a part number. Can anyone help me? In addition, I haven't actually INSTALLED the above mentioned upgrades yet. How will this affect my fuel economy, and what kind of HP should I expect from the 140HP 4 banger? 20? 25? 30?
Not looking to race this, just want a little more pep in my step. Something a bit more responsive, nimble, fun to drive, etc. Help me.

Thanks
Brooke

honestly it really depends how u drive the car. the upgrades ur talkin bout will give u a noticeable difference but it wont be significant. if you baby the car when u drive it u can expect to get the fuel mileage thats on the dealer stat or u can get more depends on ur sea level and humidity and stuff like that. as far as part #s are concerned i cant help you.. maybe the skunk 2 website will help.. or just order it from a shop and not have to worry about it

i dont think skunk2 makes a ss for 2006+ civics. i could be wrong.

comptech makes one for the si, it can be used on base models as well.
