Default What to do next?

(forgive me if i mispell anything) I am tryin to figure out what to do next!! I have a fujita intake, dc sports header, and dc sports axle back exhaust. Bolt on's are no new thing to me since I have owned numerous tricked out hondas in the past. I am tryin to keep the "warranty" so engine work is out. Any suggestions would help. Oh, this site is awesome!!

S pipe and Mid pipe, after that I think your next step would be engine managment.

Engine management... Would that involve controlling the vvti? I know its not a "vtec", but would it change the power band, valve timing, etc?

Yes...there is a thread about the Camcon and its gains right now. Check it out. This will help with tuning and engine management.

Ive heard that the pulleys can help some. I guess every bit of gain counts. How hard is the management systems to install? How do all these tie into the warranty?

^^^^I dont know about the warranty, but they are PnP.

Dont forget to get the Denso Iridium IK20 Spark Plugs, and if you want a good spark plugs cables (ex. Nology)

Will those make a difference? (spark plugs & wires) Are there any ignition upgrades out yet?

granted it looks like you've done quite a few n/a mods (which is why you posted in this forum), but do you have any suspension upgrades?? you can start going in that direction ya know.

Yeah, thats the three mods (C.A.I., header, and exhaust)i usually started with on my old hondas. Suspension has been on my mind, just not confident on installing springs! Strut bars are easy and have usually given modist improvements. My main goal is to be able to beat a friends honda!! LOL.
