The best bang for the buck would be the nitrous . Thats what i would get Only problem would be filling the bottle. I've been to all the speed shops in dallas and no one has nitrous right now . I wish the bottle was never ending.

Get two bottles of NOS and a 200 shot for the best daily driven reliabity

Carbon Fiber hoods are dangerous, they make your car unrelliable too

uve already got a nice motor to play with in the future..now u can do alot with ur suspension..uve got alot of choices to choose from..if u want reliabilty..i think ull loose in the long run with laughing gas...id go with a S/C in the future to preserve ur motor..and thats all

Why when anyone on H-T talks about nitrous, they got to bring up two bottles, mine has one bottle and does just fine, 200 shot, are you crazy? Carbon fiber hoods are dangerous??? I've had mine for about a year with NO hood pins and it has done fine.

well just continu on with the bolt-ons as the wallet allows you to...

For the price of the CF hood, you can get the Cam gears, FPR, and probably VAFC(nice little toy on my *to come* list).

i think getting cam gears with vafc without any high lift cams would be a waste of money. at least get some type-R cams and work yourself up from there.
i would get cams over a carbon-fiber hood.
just my .02 cents
good luck with your mods.

I gotta agree with B_Cruz on this one. Although it's not Nitrous, the OBD1 ECU makes a WORLD of difference on the B16 engine.

Another option would be a Hondata stage2, and then get it tuned.
