Default NEED HELP!?AEM MODS

i own a 1993 honda prelude sr. it has a h23a1 motor in it and so far i only put in an aem intake. but ive been savin up for further mods that i will hopefully start doin soon. I am strivingggg for at least a 20 to 25 horsepower gain and i got around $1000 bucks to blow. i was thinkin maybe aem fuel rails and pressure regulator with a nice fat set of injectors and a pair of DC headers. or. aem cam gears and pulleys. only problem is that i dont kno how much i will benefit in terms of power from these parts. PLZ help. im lost. lol

your cheapest bet would be nitrous, the fuel rail and fat injectors won't be beneficial to your situation

waste of time.

nitrous or rebuild for higher compression.

You will not get 20hp to the wheels from bolt ons.

that mugen is pricey, to me an intake is an intake, no need to pay 300 + for an air intake

how about a good intake, a good set of headers (SMS, Hytech, DTR, ANR, etc.) and a nice 2.50" exhaust? plus some cam gears. then you can save for some cams and valvetrain to put it all to use.
