Cam gears can mean big gains - with a dyno. Whats a cam gear w/o a proper i/e setting...

For example, replacing stock cam gears with performance give few to no gains on my car, but set to i+4/e-4 I will recieve %10 gain in torque. Just a thought, can you find a dyno - or someone with same engine/mods as you that already did the work for ya'. Good luck...

The wing is probably causing more drag than downforce.

I'm pretty sure that Honda318dx can give a better explanation of what drag is.

Cam gears on stock cams won't do what you THINK they will do. They're much better when you have a LOT more mods done.

Why don't you plan out a list? Then move down the list?


As for me... a VAFC is never a bad choice.

Oh and Drag = you're disturbing the airflow causing the air to grab the car more. You're slowing yourself down. Like sticking a mini parachute out the sunroof.

looks is all it will do......spoilers effect a rear wheel drive car more than a front wheel drive car do to it keeping those rear tires from breaking loose at 140+ mph which it is hard to make a front wheel drive car do in the first place.

A rear spoiler doesn't do Jack for most FWD cars... It helps the ITR because it evens out the downforce at both ends of the car.. the prelude front end is not designed for much downforce, so adding a rear spoiler would only increase traction in the rear... FWD cars need more traction in the front.. If you wanna be more stable, increase the front downforce by adding a splitter/airdam..
