Default Is it worth it.....

I want to tune my engine up using:
1.Skunk 2 I.M
2.Larger throttle body
3.C.A.I
4.Apexi N1 exhaust
5.Header (looking at the Apexi 4-2-1,its a bit exspensive.Are there any other good headers out there for a reasonable price)
6.Test pipe.
7.Apexi VAFC2(already have)
My car is a Civic VTI(b16a2).Will i see any decent power gains or am i just wasting my time and money.Before anyone says it i dont want to go the forced induction route yet,maybe in a year or so.
Thanks.

basically you have a B16 with I/H/E. unless you get some cams with adjustable cam gears you won't see enough to make a noticeable difference on the butt dyno.

if you bought a wideband oxygen sensor you could probly use it at the track to shave off some tenths with the VAFC2, but without the mods suggested above, you wont notice a big difference......maybe a little.....but dont expect anything huge.

Is it worth it? How much hp do you want? For 200 hp, you're gonna need some more fuel and duration.
