all depends on ur plans and intentions for the car.... by changing to the skunk 2 intake manifold you will be loosing torque which there isnt alot to spare with honda's throttle body is always a good upgrade, and as far as the fuel system there is no need for bigger injectors unless you have engine work or plan for turbo....bigger injectors will require car to be tuned....tuning is highly recommended if you have ANY mods to get the full potential out of them... example. cams, intake, header , exhaust

Stock Fuel and Ignition system can easily handle a mild build. I would suggest getting cams and valvetrain upgrades before you get the IM and TB.

I highly reccomend BC3 cams for stock CR and daily driven cars. I had them for 2 years, loved them in my DD.

The S2 S1 are better for top end, the BC3 are better for low and mid range. Which in my opinion is much better for a DD when you spend most or you time under 6K RPM. That's why in my DD I had BC3 with the stock GSR IM and on my weekend car I got Blox B's and Blox IM which are both made for top end gains.

BC3 make decent gains up top, but not as much as the S2S2 or Blox A's. But you really shouldn't be street racing in the 1st place, especially in the city

I had a good friend of mine recently pass away in a car collision cause some punks were street racing and one lost control and wrecked into my friend's car.

Take your car to track and have fun in a safe and legal environment.
