First would be to ask if you bought a good i/h/e setup. lots of peopel these days are trying to "get more power" but didn't research enough and get the most beneficial parts. This is all to say that you could be making a good bit more power than what you are making but just replacing the parts you already have.

If you have a good i/h/e setup I'd look into the hondata/VAFC route. If you don't have a good setup I'd consider selling what you have and replacing it.

I am prettty set in my definition of a "good setup"
- The only Intakes I would consider are the AEM CAI, Comptech Icebox (My personal Favorite), the Iceman CAI or Injen CAI.
- For a Header I am fairly Flexible as long as it has a 2.5" (JDM) collector. My preference for someone on a budget is the OEM JDM 4-1. A slightly cheaper option that works but has less ground clearance is the DC Sports JDM 4-1. If you have anything less than these you could make more power.
- Exhaust . . .I run a stock exhaust. I do have a Type-R so the parts are different but I don't like the noise or the money spent for 2 HP. If I were to change the exhaust out is would be some custom 2.5" mandrel bent piping. There is a guy named Mike that sells this sort of setup where an entire exhaust is in the $300 range. His email is Sales@Kteller.com. http://www.kteller.com/store/index.p...44f197c6c51269

Hope that helps.
