Default need more POWER any help?

Here is what I currently have installed on my 93 Accord EX

AEM CAI
DC Sport Header
Gude Throttle Body
Full MSD Ignition
Custom 2.5" Cat Back
Tsudo muffler

I am looking for a little more power, any sugg? I really want to keep it street legal and am not looking to spend thousands. Please help. I have heard a APEXI unit but am un certain which one and what I can expect from it. Thanks.

N2O. Street legal, +/- $600 for a good setup, will actually make your MSD setup useful.
The VAFC would also be a great unit, you can expect to pay, what guys, around $400, and I've seen gains up in the 10hp range but I've never seen anything more.

i can order you one in the 320-350 range all depends on the time of purchase what Apexi's cost is set at and of course shipping

AEM pulleys = 2+hp

Gude cam, the new (regrind) cam should add upto 10+hp alone

Gut the car

Get rid of the bass-tube & amps. Doorpanels to painted cardboard. Swap leather seats/surfaces for your friends cloth. Rear seats - gone. No spare...just fix-o-flat. Get back the original aluminum honda jack your car came with (that your brother borrowed a year ago) cause it's ligther. Use dynamat for soundproofing...

Make sure you run some fuel-injector cleaner - 44D or F or whatever that stuff was. Target alternative - STP fuel injector cleaner. Also make sure your using Denso or NGK spark plugs...I've seen bosch platinums/autolites/others make less power in Japanese cars. Make sure you torque them down properly (check torque specs against the manual). Clean your distributor cap and rotor. Run a home-depot air-hose/ram-air to your CAI.

well if you're interested in spending a lot of money that probably won't bring you great (but noticable) results perhaps a port & polish would be in your neighborhood.

yeah, I just Installed a dry "50 shot" on mine and it'll have you at least to Maxima speed.LOL anyways...I hooked it up myself and if you did all of your mods yourself it will be as easy as pie but expect 8hrs at least, just to be safe.
