Could the question be any more vague?

What are your plans for the car?

Open a bank account and save it until you can come up with a better-worded question. :thumbsup:

I thought I was the only one thinking this.

Please let us know what you drive, and what your plans are, if any.

Or you can give me $500 and I'll tell you how to make your car faster with no money.

If you're going to try and hit 12's all motor with an Integra, then plan on lots of weight reduction, and spending tons of money. If your goal is drag racing though, I'd invest in nitrous.

hmmm....12's all motor you say? Start saving

o-ring and sleeve the block to 85mm
switch to ls crank
12.5:1 pistons
headwork and lots of it
I and E Valves(oversized of course)
dual valve springs and retainers
a minimum of stage 3 cams
a decent 4-1 header
exhaust
might want to think about ITB's
standalone ECU
say goodbye to your backseat, plastic molding, roof liner, sound deadning, and whatever else that is a creature comfort
some heavier duty springs and adjustable shocks(koni yellows, agx, etc)

Am I missing anything?

and you might just hit a 12.999

have fun
