Default Another "What should I do next?" d16y8

I'm totally at what seems like a fork in the road on where I want to go with my Civic. The only thing i'm sure of is that want to do it right and not dick around with cheapy, half-ass installed parts. So far since I picked her up, which is only a few months, I've done:

-Generic SRI pipe
-Injen filter
-Bosch platinum sparks/Bosch spark cables (Lifetime warranty, sweet)
-2 1/4" CatBack with a Thrush glass pack and a Magnaflow muffler
-Enkei RS6 17"
-New Car scent pine tree (gets the chix)

I was practicly sold on swapping the D16 for a b16a2, just thinking that my little sohc 4 banger was a waste of time to FI. Then I stumbled across a Turbo'd D series site that talked about going w/o internals runing a measley 5 lbs are running 200 whp So now i'm sitting around with my thumb in my.... and a little over 300 bucks deciding what the hell i'm gunna do. I would drool over swapping a b16 since I really wanted a 99' Si, but I can't stand waiting that long to save 2k-2.5k and only put 160hp and the crank. I know it's "got so much more potential" so i keep hearing, but I get inpatient easily when it comes to mods. So now i'm thinking about keeping the D and tunning the hoss


I'm seeing myself wanting mid 14's, not that out of reach at all. I would like to stay N/A for now just to cut down on problems there COULD be. Ideas - Directions - horror stories, I need it all.

NEEDS A GUIDING LIGHT
sincerly, honda n0oB
