do suspension first IMO but CAI is prolly the cheapest mod with good results, if you do get a CAI... lemme just say the AEM install is no fun.. go INJEN

The most HP for the least ammount of cash is going to be Nitrous... Even though it is pretty wack.

i/e/h is a good $1K worth of mods. Not a tremendous amount of output as it is barely noticeable (+20-25 hp).

Hondata is the best along with intake as it greatly increases the power of the car for even less, $200 for the intake and $600 for the reflash (+40 or more hp).

But I agree to go for the suspension, first and foremost.

You want HP or performance? Bang for buck, Hondata (although they're some dealer issues too). Performance wise, suspension and weight management (no heavy wheels, subs, kegs in the trunk etc).

hondata makes over 40hp?

not putting down hondata, but FORTY HORSEPOWER? Most stock RSX-Ss make like 170whp, so your saying with an intake and Hondata you can get to OVER 210whp? please show dynos of before and after... ( ???)

incorrect info. hondata+cai does not give you 40whp.

although, it does make the car a lot faster and give more power throughout the entire powerband along with the increased rev limit.

check out http://www.hondata.com for more info and some dyno graphs.

40whp is plain bs. He must be referring to the Sport Compact Car article... That's a RSX-S with Toda cams and a reflash.

The best bang for the buck would have to be the Hondata reflash. A CAI would help with the reflash even more because the program was tuned with a CAI.
