Not necesarily better cams, but better for his purpose. Spoon cams make for phenominal road race cams, but basically blow on the street.

As far as the B-pipe goes, you could get a whole exhaust for the price of that spoon B-pipe, and it really doesn't do that much over stock piping. Not to mention, your car will be mad raspy with that stock muffler, which although it flows ok, not great, and on top of that, I'm not sure that the Spoon B pipe will even fit the USDM exhaust, as the JDM exhausts use 2.5inch collectors at the joint between the muffler and the B-pipe...Spend a couple bucks more and get a nice cat back, you'll save yourself some headache. Also keep in mind that the JDM cat is a different length than ours, and won't just bolt up to a lot of USDM exhausts...

On the other side of all this, if you do cams and pistons, you have a whole load of other stuff you're going to need to do, for example, injectors, fuel pressure regulator, retainers, springs, cam gears, and quite a number of other things to get it to run safely....

Good luck,
Aj

well, getting into the 13's on motor is going to cost you way more than a grand, though, if you're willing to sacrifice and be careful with it, and no, I'm not a big fan, you can get into the 13's no problem on like a 70 shot and still be pretty safe, just make sure you run it 70 wet....

Any way, as far as all motor parts go, for a grand, I'd start with some say skunk2 stage one cams and some cam gears, which actually, you pretty much just ran out of money on that alone if you include install But that by itself will be a pretty good difference. If you could get some sort of Vtec controller to smooth out the dip, it would be also very beneficial.

That's a good starting point iif you dont want to go really over kill.

Good luck,
Aj

With 1g you can get you a good header/test pipe (Spoon or Mugen) and a AEM CAI....thats a start for you.

Nah, don't waste your money, stick with the header you have, it's fine, but a test pipe would be nice....not to mention an intake.

Later,

AJ, I would say we get the biggest gains from a header on an R. At least more than with an intake and certainly an exhaust. AT least that has been my experience on a lightly modded R.

I'd say buy a JDM 4-1 Header/Testpipe (Or high flow cat), CAI of your choice (AEM or Icebox are my suggestions) and a VAFC. THen spend $100 and go tune.
