I'm thinking my next step will be an Apexi VAFC 2. And maybe after that a cam/cam gear upgrade. Does that sound like a good plan?

Can anyone give me any suggestions as to what I should do next?

How much HP do you think I could get without getting into forced induction with my D17A2??

I would do a cam before you do VAFC and then get the VAFC to tune the cam. I am not sure how much there is out there in terms of aftermarket support for your specific engine type, so I can't really say what the potential is. You could also do some headwork such as port and polish, springs, retainers, etc. Just a thought.
