The appropriate valvetrain, increased compression, a quality header/exhaust, upgraded fuel system, proper tuning, etc.

Why do you want to run VTEC killers?

Not necessarily, depending upon your setup. They will also provide a lousy power band for street usage.

in an all out drag car where you stay above 6500 they pull harder, but you have to have supporting mods. in a street car you would be dissappointed.

What is your exact current setup and what is your budget?

skunk 2 pro 1's if your motor is pretty stock. if you have compression, then start adding cams. Your cams you have now dont sound like getting rid of them is going to be your answer. Upgrade your header, and IM and throttle body.

dont worry about the bigger cams, get a chipped ecu and tune it on the dyno. If your running all of the upgraded stuff on a stock ecu your not gonna get the most out of your setup
