I have the same car. Make sure my use every last ounce of power, all the revs, but if you rev past the rev line the car will cut out, so be careful.

VTEC CONTROLLER IS GOOD FOR SHORT DISTANCE POWER.

Turbo it.

Or get custom gears.

Though you couldn't make them much shorter and still have normal daily driving.

Adding intake and exhaust will leave you as fast or slower than you are now.

Throw a higher rear end in there. Should solve your problem .

Though the B16 is short enough - making it shorter is gonna own u on the highway.

Turbo plus boost by gear feature on ecu. You could have whatever power your car makes in whatever gear you want

a vtec controller wont do **** for a mildly modded b16.

b16s have no torque so thats your first problem. id say just boost it and call it a day. 1st and 2nd isnt exactly a hondas sweet spot anyways.
