Thanks Guys ..

I already have the suspension stuff.

Apexi WS Coilovers
S/T Sway Bars

Already have new OEM Brembo's with EBC pads .. I auto-x my car ...
Pulley's .. bah ... 2 hp weee ... and watch it drain my battery
What about an FPR and a high flow cat? Is that worth the investment?

The reason why I have this money, JG decided it didn't want to regrind a CAM for my Accord .. (Bastards) .. I also have a Skunk2 CAM gear waiting to put on too.
Now .. is it even worth putting that thing on? Will I really see any gains? If not, I am thinking about selling it.

Does SCCA even allow aftermarket cats?

I was under the impression that they require the stock cat to be in use.

edit: maybe I am thinking of just STS class

you can have an aftermarket, stock type cat in sts, no high flow cats allowed. You could probably run a high flow and nobody would care.

about 30hp
It probably wont change peak hp and torque much but you'll gain through out the rev range.

My borthers lude only got 1 more peak whp but he gained 25-30 from 3-6000 rpm and now has a vtec engagement at 3100. Much much faster car.

The VAFC is nice, though the total costs of it would probably run over $400.

Yep.

Thats where I run it too. Anyone who's tuned one will get the most power earlier by setting it as low as possible.

I tuned mine to 3100 and then raised the engagement to 4500 and all it did was rob me of power and torque till it kicked in and then went to the same peaks that we saw at 3100. (sorry its in excel)
