Default Next mod?

Currently have AEM CAI and JDM DC header. Just starting to think of what should be next. Keep in mind that my engine is going to remain rather mild. The most I'll probably do is JUN II intake cam or something along those lines and that will be a good bit into the future.

I have a test pipe. At the track I run open header which is far superior to any exhuast. A new B pipe isn't out of the question though.

Well since you have the JDM DC I assume you have a Carsound or something of the like. If you aren't looking to improve upon brakes or suspension I would say clutch/flywheel and maybe JDM FD or even ATS 4.92 depending on how you wanna go. If its gotta be engine related ehhh FPR and Cam gears are a good route along with a Hondata stage 2. I'm not really a big fan of the V-AFC. If you wanna get kinda crazy you can do Ultra R pulley, Ultra A alt pulley and 92-95 manual rack...get rid of about 100lbs and throttle responce and overall power is rediculous. You have a lot of options.
Later.

Since you seem to be a drag/auto-xer then why don't you get something good for the future like cam gears.

I think the VAFC will improve the responsiveness of your current setup

Suspension mods will make you faster than a VFAC.

Yeah, I would buy a good suspension mod if you can afford it. It will last you forever.

That will be one of my big money mods. Zeal S6/Buddy Club or something of that nature will be fitted in the future. Right now I'm going to tweak the engine a little while I still learn the characteristics of the stock suspension (which is freaking awesome).

Or not. Apparently you missed the S6 part. Lets not turn this into a suspension debate because I'm not even considering it right now.

If you plan on doing any more engine mods, I suggest you get some larger fuel injectors and the Hondata to tune them.

Why would you ever get a VAFC over Hondata?

Hondata dealers have you by the ***** when you have to make a change...VAFC doesnt. For a mild setup like his, I don't think it's worth getting the Hondata over the VAFC. I had the same decision to make and and I went with the VAFC because I have a mild setup. We'll see how it does this weekend when I go tune.
