Depends on what kind of power your looking for. "Better" is a subjective term, but to keep things simple I'd recommend staying naturally aspirated, for all out power boost it.

boosting will just blow the motor unless u have a good tune, but getting a good tune here is not good in hawaii

808 huh? My cousin lives in Aiea, but he's not into motor mods......

I'd stay NA if finding a tuner is an issue, perhaps just get an ITR swap with a stock ecu.

I think for honda all motor is better.... honda motors are made for high compression.To boost it you would need to lower the compression. Unless u know how to lower your compression keep it NA cause u wont be able to boost that much. or unless you have a lot of money to have someone that knows what there doing do it for you

Unless you can get a decent tune, I wouldnt recommend changing anything reguarding your motor NA or with boost.

I'd find a competent tuner, then base your build on what they feel they can tune if the island is keeping you within certain constraints.

If your looking for ideas of NA builds, look in the All Motor Dyno thread at the top next to the FAQ's.

I rec. you direct your attention AWAY from mods to the motor and look into your transmission. Having a bone stock ITR motor in an EG with a MF 1,3,4 and 5th gear would be pretty damn quick for a street car. If that were too aggressive for you, maybe do a 4.9 FD and you'll still be quicker than if you were to add a "stage 1" cam or whatev.
