find out exactly what kit it is.. IF it is a dry intake type kit.... NOS5122 get it.. if not post what kind ofkit it is.. SOME of the wet kits are only desighned for larger motors.. i have an ex.. and its juiced.. you have (technicaly) a very similar motor as me.. and i can tell you it makes a HUGE differance.. it gives you the one thing hondas lack.. and that is torque.

once i know what kit it is i will tell you exactly what jets to get... to make it work right... rule of thumb.. never add more than 50% of the STOCK engine power on a STOCK engine...so you can bump a 50 shot as stated saafely... and be at like 150 hp.. with HELLA torque... it will feel completely differant.. the one thing against you is tranny geering.. you have that lame highway cruising (similar to mine but worse) when if the tranny goes id pick up an EX tranny, and you MAY want to consider a clutch

is this an auto car??? or stick...

AND DITCH THE PLATINUM PLUGS... you also need to address timing issues, fuel system issues... there is a lot to it.. you need to have your car up to par stock specs or better... in other words.. fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel lines, injectors... NOS is a great power adder, but puts a huge demand on the fuel system, so if it is shot out, your motor will die under load and break..
