Default What's the best thing to do now????

Hey guys,
Well this past weekend I went to the track. I ran a 14.9 with only a CAI and an Apexi Dunk cat-back. If you're wondering why so slow for an ITR...well I'm 3500 feet above sea level so that will do it!
I've just ordered my JDM 4-1 headers with the Spoon high-flow cat.
What would you guys recomend doing to the car after these bolt on mods?
And what will more mods do to my warranty?
Any help is appreciated.

Yes, take your car to a road course, and get a higher final drive, with a clutch/pp/flywheel combo.

Warrenty isn't something I'd worry about if you want serious power. It's gonna get voided but who cares. Everything on a Honda motor is basically pretty easy to repair yourself with the help of a Helms manual or some good import shops.

header and weight reduction. then you start getting towards more serious mods, such as FI, or built NA setups. Then its a personal preference and how much time nad money you have to invest. People are running built FI setups in 12's, and others have built NA setups in 12's.

Dude I already ordered my headers...and have done weight reduction.
As I've stated earlier, what ELSE can I do that will help me in the 1/4 mile?

Thanks Rob,
I've made the decision not to go FI for now since I don't realy have the cash for all the up-keep. I appreciate all the help...keep it coming!!!
