Default Performance upgrades?

What performance upgrades do you recommend (to start with) after CAI and exhaust?
How about Intake man./TB/fuelmap.? or will i also need cams/adj. camgears to notice a difference?

header, and VAFC, after those start with cams , cam gears ... etc. u don't need TB or any fuel upgrade , which it won't give u more power.( maybe few but not worth it) just I/H/E probably the easiest things for u to make power compare to the money u pay, but VAFC is something u want for sure, because u'll need it for tunning now matter wat. gl.

I always suggestion gets better handling before getting more hp!
This is because you can have a easier time to control!
so get some new tires or suspensions or sway bar would also be great ideas

some very good companies for header and exhaust are hytech, toda, SMS...they are very nice quality and dyno proven products. VAFC is only useful when tuned at a dyno.

of course u need good handling to control the power, but the ITR already has great handling, but lacks some power on the highway

Im currently running on ITR wheels with Bridgestone S-03, and im also about to get a nice adj. "coilover kit", so no need to worry

which "coilover kit"? It's easy to f up the already good handling of the stock car so please do research first.

Header, VAFC and cam gears. With a good exhaust you'll be making some decent power after it's tuned. If you plan on running aftermarket cams, etc later I'd suggest buying a standalone (hondata, powerfc, apexi ems, etc) instead of the vafc. either way allow 2-3 hours of dyno time for tuning for either. If you go standalone do some street tuning as well.
