Take some time search here and other forums (8thcivic.com, k20a.org, etc.) The more you read the more you'll learn.

Here's a dyno graph from hondata of stock vs cold air intake and skunk2 header/exhaust combo just to give you an idea how much these few mods help http://www.hondata.com/images/civics...k_vs_stock.pdf

Intake gets more air into the block, headers get it out with less resistance, and a K20 is high revving, less resistance is a big thing on high rev engines...the TB will allow a more laminar flow of air into the block at wide open throttle and not be a bottleneck in the airstream...
