Here, buy these books, read them.

1) Honda & Acura Performance Handbook, by Mike Ancas. MBI Publishing, 1999.
ISBN: 0-7603-0669-9

2) High Perfomance Honda Builder's Handbook, Volume Two, by Joe Pettitt. Car-Tech, Inc, 1999.
ISBN: 1-8840-8938-0

3) Honda / Acura Engine Performanc, by Mike Kojima. PenguinPutnam, 2002.
ISBN: 1-5578-8384-X

Each of these are about $20.00.

Ancas covers the whole spectrum of mods, at the expense of some detail.

Pettitt is very thorough, focusing on chassis setup, functional aero, tire tech and FWD drag performance.

Kojima is one of the best technical writers alive. His book covers every possible motor setup, including hybrids, NA & FI, Nitrous, literally everything. And the info is presented in a truly understandable format.

As a favor to me and the other members of HAN, at least look for these at the local library and have a preliminary read, so that we don't feel like we're spoon-feeding answers that are not entirely relevant to vaguely written questions.

Thanks.
Dave.
