Meh.

What do you need an upgraded ignition for? Honda ignitions are plenty strong, so you won't see much of a difference. Just save your money for something more useful.

And correct me if I am wrong, but it looks like that setup is more geared toward a nitrous application than an N/A application.

Your best investment would be looking into a motor swap.

If you decided to boost the D, it would be one thing, but all motor is just a foolish waste of money.

But with all my $.02 aside, the cam would be a better power gain than a useless upgraded ignition.

i want an LS/VTEC, but can't afford a full swap. i'd love to turbo the D, but can't afford a full turbo kit. i'm going to college after this year (senior year high school), and i'm paying my own way through. i won't have that kinda cash for a while. so, i juss wanna play w/ this motor, and have fun w/ it. do some fun mods, and surprise more ppl w/ it than i already have around here. it'll already smoked a '93 GSR, & most of the LSs in town (all but two)

lol, plus... i have a project i'm doing through college, that'll suck up most of my extra money >

actually, that'd prolly be better. after all, VTEC isn't some kind of factory race add on i don't really need it. in fact, i'd rather not have it period. juss less stuff that can go wrong. either way, i still can't afford it the only LS w/in two hours of here that i've found was $400 for the engine w/o harness or anything else.

i did however hear about an H20 for sale locally for like $250... that could be fun.
