Nu here: I have a 96 Accord EX 2.2 VTEC

I didn't get any replies to my question on the time/ cost involved with an automatic -to- 5 spd manual trans swap... is it worth it? Anyone have any history or experience with this swap? What is the good the bad the ugly on it?

Also jusk seekin' opinions on what else I can do to speed things up without going internal...(a couple more bolt ons, no pistons, camshaft replacements etc...at lesat not yet) I have 500.00 to spend on the remaining engine upgs (the rest is for body kit. paint ect.)-- I have a header, cold air, cat back, Venom 400, MSD Procap w/ ext coil, MSD Ign box- just need to finish off the go so I can start working on the show!

Do I want to go with a Nitrous solution, or should I spend the same money on bigger injectors, fuel rail, Jet- chip upg, cam gears????

Totally appreciate experienced advice!
