Default Opinions on mods for a 96 accord.

alright, so I currently have a 96 v6 ex accord with an aem v2 cold air, and an exhaust, along with headers. I basically wanted to get all the "bolt on" mods out of the way before moving on to anything drastic.

Any ideas on what I should move on too?

Custom-made headers showed decent gains on this motor as an fyi. You may want to look into it. I'm unsure what you have now but if it's anything off eBay or similar it's probably not benefiting you as much as it could.

I don't think Bisi has any off the shelf C27 cams. You would have to order a regrind or custom ground cam. He has the C27 listed on his website under cams but it comes up saying "There are no products to list in this category."

I think when it comes to internal mods for the C27A4 your going to find that they are custom and fairly expensive. Bisimoto or the boys at Race Engineering would probably be able to get you some cams & pistons made. Give them a call/email and see what they say.

I don't know if you consider a suspension upgrade to be drastic,but you can't go wrong with a Koni/GC setup.I would personally do that before I touch anything under the hood.

I believe they are in development. There was something about it on Gen5, but since it was for V6 I really didn't pay attention.

Fuel rail? Isn't that kinda unnecessary unless you are running a turbo?

Unnecessary unless you're hitting the show scene or if you're planning laying down some serious power. It looks nice, and it's useful for mounting nitrous or a fuel pressure gauge but......
