Utilize that 3" exhaust, and get a turbo to feed it.

Most bang for the buck right.

dont get turbo......doesnt work well with Vtec
*** WORKS ALOT BETTER WITH NON VTEC ENGINE******
just have your engine fully built

cam gears, cam shaft, rods, fuel injectors, msd. etc.

WTF are you talking about, why doesn't turbo work with V-tec?

-If you have the money to do it right, go turbo and a good engine management system
-Or build your motor to handle nitrous

I definatley reccomend turbo, you could find one on e-bay for less than 3G, I found mine on e-bay, only 6 mos old, perfect condition...fmax t3/t4 (look in sig)got all the turbo stuff for $1700, then save some of that money for tuning, and unexpected items that you dont think about until your doing a project, no matter what it is. anyways, good luck and ultimately do what YOU want and what YOUR dreams are...not anyone else's

HAHAHA
WTF are you talking about! Majority of turbo Honda's are VTEC, and it works just fine. Spend $4k on a built all motor, and I gaurantee you a turbo honda will still hand you your *** with mild mods.

Turbo = Bang for Buck!
