Default A few questions... 96 accord

Ok to begin with i will break down my situation. I have a 96 accord ex (F22B1)with a lil over 110,000 miles. As of right now i have an intake, and msd blaster coil, exedy stg 1 clutch, and msd cap/rotor. Right now im just trying to squeeze a little bit of power out of the engine without doing anything major. for example just bolt ons. Im not really looking at spending n e thing more than $500 for now so with that said and for ease of installation because i will be doing it myself. What parts could i go with? Ive looked at bisi cam for it, header, or maybe a full exhaust.? Any of these have a significant gain over the others or easier to do?? and as far as plans for the future i am still in a toss up between turboing the current engine i have or swapping for an h22 and building that a little. Either way those are probably about a year or more out...

If you don't have a solid plan for the car, don't do anything until you do.

I don't get why people insist on modding their cars before having a plan. So much wasted time and money on parts.

Ok i understand where your coming but instead offer some advice that is helpful. For example "hey dude i think you should save that $500 or so you are wanting to spend now and put it towards your h22 swap or towards that turbo setup". Thats pretty much the reason why i wrote everything that i am wanting to do, So people can offer they're advice from experience. (something im still new at)...
lol i whent thru 2 brand new tires this summer just because the camber was off a little bit and i didnt get it aligned. something i had to learn the hard way...

He DOES have experience. If you don't know what YOU want to do then random people on the internet can't tell you what to do.

I did an H22 swap
Some others built their F
Some turbo'd
Some did H23
Some did F20B

You're going to get everyone's opinion and it will be worthless to you unless YOU decide what path you want to go.

And an FYI, camber will not wear your tires nearly as much as toe will. Your toe needed to be 0'd out (or close to 0) for tire wear to be minimal.
