Default D16z, What now?

Hey People.
"So check it out it's like this," I have a Stock d16z Engine (95 civic ex) and I need something to do with it. BTW, no turbo, no sc, and no swap. Ill do that later. So, Header Intake and Exhaust are 3 things, but thats all I know off. I'm a newb as engines go. I have read about swapping heads? That would be something to do, but what else add on power. Oh yea, no nnaawwss. If your selling something that would help:thumbup: either post it up here, or send me a pm. I'm on Han a lot. Lets keep things +, no need to get this thread locked.
Thanks people

If you are thinking about major things later maybe you should consider sinking the money that is burning a hole in your pocket into your suspension. That way if you go turbo, sc, or swap you won't have wasted your money.

I wanted to get some stuff done now, Suspension is on the list. Any Ideas? I know Koni Yellows are good, they just cost an arm and a leg. In a few years, I was thinking of a swap and going for there, I have alread asked this, i just want more feedback. Should I Leave it Stock now and save up for the swap? or just put it all into the d16z...

save up for a swap... cuz you seem like you like n/a better...

go suspension rite now.. you don't need to replace those parts if you swap...

i'm going to get a set of agx adjustables.. and depending on how low you want your car (not more thatn 1.5 in) you'd be okay with them.. and pretty inexpensive

I agree wholeheartedly....get an ACT HDSS before you do anything. Once you start getting real power you'll really appreciate it. And by the way it'd be CAM....we only have 1 it's weight reduction :thumbup: I'm using a 55 shot on my 00 ex and my clutch pretty much is worthless. I could only manage a 10 flat in the 1/8 @ 71 mph....on a slipping clutch in 90 degree weather. I guess that's not too bad.
