Default Next modification?

I want to do some performance modification to my B16A engine. So far, I have intake, header, exhaust, SCI ignition and Crane Cams coil. What do you guys think would be best for the money for my next upgrade I should do? But I don’t want force induction so no turbo, supercharger or NOS at this time. Thanks.

probably too early for a hondata, but cams would be a good start.

Which one is better, change my cam (stage 1 or 2?) or change my TB and intake manifold? I want something good for everyday driving and if I could I want keep good idle and low end power, cause I heard if you change the cam you might loose some low end power. Thanks.

nothing short of a supercharger is going to give you low end. a set of cams is going to give better gains than a tb/im.

itb's would be cool. you could make your own for fairly cheap too, you need them from i beilieve a suzuki gsxr 600 and then get an intake manifold and cut the runners. there are diys all over the net, hit up google, ull find it

Your engine doesnt have enough compression or displacement to run stage 2 cams.

It's B16A, I meant cams. Yeah, I heard to change to stage 2 cams I need to increase CR. Well, I want to go for N/A but I just want to get the right direction/sequence of which I should upgrade first. I'm thinking about T/B and I/M change to 64mm. But there are also many people suggest cams will gain more power than T/B and I/M. Again, if I go for cams, I will gain more power in the all rpm's or only in high rpm's? Because I heard if I change T/B and I/M I will gain power in all rpm's range. Thanks.
