There's plenty of other mods I would do before that. What do you already have done?

Most people will not need a FPR.

I would suggest staying away from using a lightened crank pulley becuase of the <U>possible</U> damage that can be caused. I had one and the revs seemed to jump in an irregular fasion, most likely due to a problem with the belts. The gains off it are minimal an a N/A car.

I saw a dyno for AEM's underdrives (which cause no problems), 3-4hp if I recall correctly.... wasn't a bad number for what they are...on a 5th gen too. Anyhow, an FPR is only needed if your boosting or spraying.

AEM's just acessory pulleys (Alt. and AC.). Underdrive involves the crank pulley.

Even with some N20 kits you won't need a FPR.

V-AFC or hondata would be good. Cam gear would also be nice, that's what I'm doing next. You need dyno time with those mods. Also, high flow cat or test pipe is simple.
