You're going through the same thing I did. I bought a 80$ intake, a 200$ header, 150$ catback, spend like 80$ on plugs and wires. And it didn't even SLIGHTLY compare to my stock ass b16. I would say save up 500-1000$ and get a b18b motor. It's non-vtec (not that it in all actuallity matters) but it makes good torque, pretty good hp, and handles boost like the motor was meant to be a stock turbo'd motor. From there you have a world of options to do stuff. Just by adding that extra cam in the b series engines makes a world of difference.
