exhuast, intake manifold, throttle body, camgears, cams, P&P, ECU, VAFC, pulleys, tires, wheels (lightweight), and dyno tune everything. should put you into the 14's or less

One thing at a time. Probably go for the cams first. (CTR cams), and then exhaust and so on.

Cams shouldn't be first. You should work your way up to big mods like cams.

i agree with tzsir...you'll see more of a power difference than you would think just from an itr intake mani and itr tb. also, what goals are you looking for in terms of power and eta? cuz ctr cams are really mild and after awhile, you'll get tired of the power they make in a 1.6. i suggest skunk stage 2's...great power for a great price. dyno tuning is key.

No such thing as an easy way to get power. Do some reasearch and plan on spending a lot of time, money or both. Personally I'm spending money on autocrossing school instead.

you need to tell us what your end goals is for your car. are you going NA, FI, no2 etc... if you do this we can point you in a better direction for modding the car in an order that will be suitable for your needs

CTR cams on B16's are awesome. You will feel a major diff. in horsepower. Get a ECU and u can really take advantage of them.

Just wanting to honestly run the quickest time I can in this car without changing the way it runs. I want to use it as a daily driver as well. I don't want the idle to be weird and such.
