Default Which sounds better?

I have a 97 integra b18c. Skunk2 Mani,Aem intake, greddy header, exhaust, chipped ecu.

Im wanting to have a quick daily driver somethings thats reliable but fast. I have looked and looked at build threads and still havent seen anything for my budget. Im looking too spend maybe around 250-300 dollars on my next part. Does anyone have any ideas, im tired of searching and not finding anything..

This is what my car looks like now( and yes I know it has a body kit so keep your comments to yourself)

If you have any ideas on what I should do next please share

Thought about a throttle body, but then I noticed that you dont gain much unless you have a heavily modded motor.

And with the ITR cams I dont know where too buy a nice set for a decent price. And with the ITR cams are they close enough to the gsr cams to run off the stock valve train and the ecu im running so I dont have to get it rechipped

do your basic free mods to free up space/power and weight

First things ive ever done to my gsr when i bought it was

REMOVED

A/C
P/S
and Back Seats

When my gsr was stock, with those pieces removed i raced my friends stock gsr

i had him by a length easy

plus no back seat looks nice

you flame the guy for his bodykit and you really think that by taking your back seats out you're going to be oh so much faster, speed racer? Taking the a/c and p/s is just as dumb.

people here ask for help and all they get is crap from people like you

yeah I will have to agree while some people might not like his body kit, he might and thats who you should be building you car for anyway is yourself. So don't bash a guy for doing what he likes just answer his question if you have an answer. If not move on to the next thread. And yes I would either also go with a t-body or ITR cams.

yeh exactly!

and to answer the question, I would have to go with the ITR cams if you can find a good price on the set. Or at least the intake cam. Had those on my gsr and LOVED it

When I bought the car it came with a body kit and it was trashed soI only had $200 too buy a body kit or all the stock bumpers. And thats what I found and at the time I couldnt wait to buy anything else because I needed it so I could get my car painted. And when I bought the car the A/C and P/S were already taken out.
I have the skunk2 Pro Series intake manifold which TB should I match up too it ? 65 68?

I believe this thread is about advice on engine performance, not exterior styling. Truthfully, no bolt-on is going to give you a significant increase in power. Cams are the way to go and you will need to hace your ECU re-tuned. Taking off the P/S will take a small load off your engine. The A/C doesn't add a load until it is turned on.

Taking out A/C saves you 50 Lbs in weight and free's up the motor from an extra belt. Its not dumb. its just your preference. If you track your car, weight reduction is important.

for the OP, ITR cams run 250-350 so you canget a set, its a nice upgrade. you'll feel it. Jsut save a little bit more money and get a Skunk2 I/M also. and a tune.

he already has a skunk2 intake manifold. ^^ anyway, i'd suggest opening that engine up and get some aftermarket cams. i know itr cams are good to have, but crower, skunk2, and quite a few other companies offer high performance cams as well. maybe invest in a valve train? just some idea's i guess. and to the flamer... i thought i was a post *****, but you my friend take it to extream, lol. as the op stated in his first post "( and yes I know it has a body kit so keep your comments to yourself)" apparently you didn't catch that part huh?

You could get some underbody lights, some chrome taillights, more chicken wire for the back or a larger tach.
Or you could get a test pipe, so it's louder.
I forgot you could get a mad tyte huge *** jdm wing too!
