Help decide first mods
I have a 1996 integra ls 5speed. I am trying to find fairly cheap bolt on power adders and was wondering if any of u could help me out. I have a short ram intake already.
i was thinking aem pulleys then cam gears, exhaust maybe i dunno can u help me out quick power for cheap!

don't wast your money on pullys they are useless, as far as cam gears u may want to look into them when u get different cams if u are going n/a route.. best bang for buck would be a nice cat back exhuast u will feel a nice little difference in power, not a lot but noticable.. but u should first decide as tegbooster stated what your goals are and what u want to be doign with the car

Cam gears won't do anything if you are still running stock cams.
Exhaust would be a good start, but bolt-on power is very hard and expensive to obtain with an LS motor.

As mentioned, forget the cam gears for now. I would say look into gettin' an exhaust and a good header. Then work on cams and cam gears....and other engine internals. :goodjob:
