Default what should I do with 800 left in my budget?

I have 94 gsr jdm itr pistons,erics racing comp. port and polished head, skunk 2 valves ,springs and retainers,lightened flywheel,underdrive polley,cam gears and itr tranny.Should I spend the money on skunk stage 2 cams or vtec controler and just wait to get the cams cuz I still need a intake manifold and throttle body ,injectors and reprogram my ecu. I also already have a cold air intake,jg headers and 2.25 exhaust. I just want the most whp I can get.

just curious, why would you buy all the retainers, springs, & valves, when you didnt have the cams?

i would definitely go with the cams by the way.

Why do i see more of this then i do intake manifolds? I got my skunk2 for 250 shipped and it seemed to help a great deal, especially for the price of the part compared to other power adders for the same price .Also, all i have done to my hyrbid hatch is: intake and exhaust w/test.(on B18C)??

I would have bought Hondata first. Since you didn't. Buy it now. Cams aren't gonna do you a bit of good if you drop them in and have no money for tuning or anything to tune with.

Cams and a larger exhaust, the 2.25 will become a bottleneck as you begin to get larger cams and more power. If i were you i would save up another 1G and get hondata and tuning (lots of tuning), this will net you the best result
