So I need some tips on where to start on one of these babies. I just got one and have had my head wrapped around my last project of a 85' corolla SR-5 for the last three years and now that I have a drifter I want to make this baby a mid level street car for shows and such. Are these 190bhp really? I just cant feel it but have not had a Honda in forever. I have all the basics done I.E. Exhaust, intake, ECU, and all that easy stuff, but what is the best and most logical step for a Prelude? Do I want to rebuild the engine from the block up or what? I hear these 2.2L VTECS are great little 4 bangers so let me know

Thanks

Speed and power is just a matter on the size of your wallet. Some of the cheaper routes to take is to tune your vtec dip out with a vfac, or do it better with hondata. Both of which should utilize a dyno. Another great mod that you see a lot of results from is a final drive reduction gear, - gives a 9% increase in torque and accleration based on the 4.64fd.

These are just two mods that dont cost as much and dont need a lot of other supporting mods. Compared against a whole cat back system, or a valvetrain and cams, cam gears. Or a 1000 dollar header.
