No.

The stock one can handle 600 hp, so the only reason to change it would be bling factor.

Put it together with a 18" high aluminum wing and you can get up to 15hp.

I have three cars just like that! They sit next to my Champ car (which, BTW, needs a spoiler, unlike every other ricer that has one and wishes he could make use of it).

i have a couple questions concerning the fuel setups of integras:
1.) is there a difference between the ls fuel rail and gs-r fuel rail?
2.) what about the fuel pump, worth upgrading to aftermarket?
3.) if i raise the compression to around 12.0:1 will i need any of these? (fuel pressure regulator, fuel pump, fuel rail, etc.)

1) No
2) If you have the mods that require extra fuel, a higher volume fuel pump is a good idea. More than likely a mild N/A build will not even come close to needing the extra fuel. In a boosted application, it is good insurance against leaning out and blowing the motor.
3) Probably not. You will probably need some larger injectors and a standalone to handle the fueling.

thanks a lot. this is starting out as an ls with the bottom end built. then i wanna put my built b16 head on it. but i still need to install the cams and do some machine work to the head so i wanna get it in the car with the ls head for now. what size injectors do u think i'd need to upgrade to? u think '96 prelude vtec injectors would work? i know they supply more fuel than the stock integra injectors. or would u suggest upgrading more.
