Default how to gain more top need power?

ok I'm looking forward to getting some more top end power out of my teg.. its got the b18a1 with all ebay brand components such as header intake downpipe cat exhaust ect.. I bought it this way and looking to swap out with wat ever will perform better than cheap ebay parts. the exhaust will be swapped out ASAP with a custom skunk2 set up but what else would help with some more power in the top end and keep my off the line power band good? I have really good acceleration in low end then it doesn't carry on after 60mph.. any suggestions?

A bigger TB doesn't mean more power, You'd be better off having your TB bored to your IM. Get in touch with user Maxbore (i think that's how he spells it). I know in the past he was charging $80 which is cheaper than a new TB.

OP: If your just looking for a little more power why not ls/vtec it and put a gsr,b16 or itr tranny on. it will be a world of difference compared to what you have now.

turbo it and call it a day. You can build a rather simple setup for under $2500 start to finish and would be able to safely make 300whp on the stock block.

tb and im does add top end on the power band but ls trannys are slow at higher speeds becuase of the longer gears swap your tranny with a b16 if your not worried about going fast cuz the swap will make you quicker but top speed slower cuz of shorter gears
