Default Well rounded or all out drag?

As you all know there are many options in building up your teg, all drag?, all handling?, a nice median? Well, as of now, Im all drag, for the most part. Setups at the bottom....My question, if you were in my boat, would you finish off the engine, or finish off the handling?

Plans for engine-
Hondata
Injectors
Water Injection?
Tuning

Plans for handling-
Good tires
Front/Rear Sway bars+Tie bar
Sparco Torino (Driver only)
5pt Harness
Autopower 4pt rollbar

I know the seat setup is alot of show, but I like it personally. I dont have the money to build the bottom, nor the down time for my car.

I think Id rather have a nicely rounded car that an all out drag car. What do you think?

I would take care of the handling department first, but do whatever you think you would enjoy more.

Im a speed freak, but I dont think I want to spend all that on minimal gains, as I cant wreap the benefits of a built bottom. Im leaning to handling.

imo, integras are decent little cars, upgrade a little here, a little there and you'll enjoy driving it much more since driving consist of more than just going straight.

seeing that your car is already boosted at 10psi, maybe it's time to find a way to get some power to the ground?

Its got an LSD, better tires are coming either way, and traction bars are outta the question if I go for handling too.

And your right, driving is more than just straigh ahead, so Im still leaning to handling.

how about some pads and rotors? just a thought, you should be able to stop just as well as you accelerate too
