Most people are not going to answer such a vague question, What else do you have that might add power?

In general Hondata will help you to fine tune a motor to give a few hp more. Just by adding the ITBs and the Hondata you should have some more power but like I said it would be hard to guesstimate.

Without high compression and big cams, I don't think they would be worth it.

there was a thread a while back about the gains of itbs. he used some cbr or vf4i throttles and gained something like 20-25 hp with vafc tuning. my friends have cbr 40mm throttles and it helps out throttle response something fierce. pulls faster to redline, but they need bigger cams. stock b16 valvetrain=

pulls faster to redline?.

there are only 3 choices. 1) clutch is slipping, dont think this is the case.

2). tires are spinning... this would clearly indicate an increase in power... or really bad driving

3). the car is FASTER. more power. therefore, the itbs helped ur friend.

Bolt on's won't cut it. Most ppl that go with a setup like that have extensive engine work. Thats the only way you're really going to make the most power out of ITB's because they require stand alone fuel management and with the price you're going to end up paying, you're just gonna be assed out. My suggestion is spending whatever budget you have on ITB's and fuel management on your engine.
JUN 3 cams with a stock bottom end have proven to break 200 whp with proper tuning. Do it, better for gas mileage too, LoL.

I'd say buy it and try it. I could pretty much guarantee you'd make 200whp out of a stock STOCK itr longblock with them.

And you'd always be able to sell them for at least $1k if they don't make power for you. Plus, they're only a little more than say a mugen intake.....
