I suggest that before you go throwing aftermarket parts on the car, that you do some research and see if what you are doing is actually helping or hurting things.

A must have:
*Race Header
*Stock exhaust is fine, but aftermarket exhuast would be good for a few gains
*RBC manifold with a BDL TB
*K-pro with V-tec Kickin in early
*A nice tune up = Street Killer

I start small and see where you go from there. You know, intake, header, suspension.

Yeah start small and don't make threads about what you should do, you'll get burned, I learned the hard way.

top end beast??

im pretty sure the stock TB and IM flow more than well enough.

im not to sure if i would want vtec to kick in much earlier, if so maybe only 2 or 300 earlier but even then i might not mess with it.
