Default Need more power

The only thing I miss about my lude is the power, I love everything else about my 2000 SIR(canada) over the lude. I think I'm happy with my suspension upgrades for now, so time for more speed. What should be my first steps in unleashing the power from my B16A? Are there better bolt on combinations than others or maybe even some parts that don't really make a difference and could be money better spent elsewhere? Also I'm looking to stay all motor and no internal engine modifications for this year at least.

So far I'm looking into an AEM CAI, Skunk2 intake manifold, JDM 4-1 header, T1R b-pipe, and spoon axelback, pretty much the basic boltons. Are there any useless parts in my above list or something that's more cost effective?

Thanks!

That list sounds good, them get some cams once you've finished with the bolt-ons.

Thanks!</TD></TR></TABLE>they all work good together. however, i dont think youll be making enough power for the skunk2 manifold. those stock cams dont bring in nearly enough air. plus u need a bigger throttlebody too so that more air can get into the bigger manifold...

I agree with allmtr. Maybe use that money to save for the cams first, then get the manifold.

Sounds good guys, what cams would work on my car, ITR cams? CTR cams? I'd also need to upgrade my intake valvetrain and switch the exhaust valvetrain for the stock intake valvetrain?
