Default what mod should I do first

What's up guys, Im usually found in the civic forums, but you guys know about the B18c1

Can anybody suggest what order mods I should do first to last? Heres my list.

1. skunk2 intake manifold
2. intake cam (either skunk2 stage 1, or Civic Type R)
3. vtec controler (any suggestions?)

I'll greatly appreciate any input, I already have an ACT clutch, short shifter, drop in K&N air filter (temperary) and cat back exhaust. Its my daily driver and Im trying to build a reliable mid-high 13 sec car.


:dunno:

1. Header
2. Cams/springs/retainers
3. Vtec Controller
4. Intake manifold
5. Flywheel

Skunk2 cams are specifically designed for their single runner manifold, and are a good combo.

Default Depends on what you want

If you do the v-tec controller your going to have to reset the setting every time you and something new ,I would go with the cam and v-tec controller at the same time,then the manifold because it is cheaper to get and then adjust the controller.

I did some research. If I'm a good enough driver, with just basic bolt ons (i/h/e, and clutch), I should be at a 14.1. With a little head work, I should be well into the 13s, but we'll see how I drive. (I've been practicing my launching -sucks for my neighbors )
