year and model car would be nice.

In general, Honda's really don't gain much power from bolt ons. Intake, header, exhaust, if you're lucky ... another 12hp to the wheels.

Based on unbiased sources I've read that's true. The advertised hp of those bolt-ons are usually at high rpm, say 6k and up. The real place to focus is on where you drive normally...up to to 5k, depending on your lead foot.

Generally speaking, I think cams and/or head. Then adding I/H/E would make bigger difference.

Basic bolt ons on the F-series engines IMO should only be done for fun and to gain knowledge about your car and make it a little more to your liking...don't expect to get much in the way of noticeable power gains.
