i think he meant k20a2...................? if so.......

injen or AEM cold air intake
DC Sport or Jackson header
tanabe or buddy club full exhaust
hondata k-pro or at least get a re-flash to tune it!!!!!!

should put you around 190-210whp depending on how agressive the tune is and how good of condition the engine is in ( low miles, fresh rings, good valve seal etc...)

If you want small mods I'd do suspension. ESMM, Al shifter bushings, sway bars, etc. It's not all about the straight line.

I agree completely. It's not always about jumping straight to the power and quickly modify it every way you can, just to make it fast in the 1320. It's also about taking turns and having a well-balanced car. Being able to actually learn the the car (i.e., the way it moves and stops through tight corners) and testing it's limits to how far it can go, with both stock power and suspension.

When already comfortable, that's when one talks about suspension setups among others.

This will make oneself a better driver, IMO.
