what is your long term goal for the car? do you want to stay N/A or do you want to boost it?

lot you can do with $3000 to get respectable power out of the K20A3. most people would tell you to ditch it for an A2 if you can find it.

since you already have an intake, you can pick up a race header (DC Sports to stay within your budget, although its not the best choice among other race headers), HKS exhaust, and Kpro from Hondata. the Kpro will help out a lot and will be the best mod you'll do to your car.

if you really want more power, save up a bit more money and give this guy a call on some camshafts: http://www.tuningfactoryinc.com/

other than that, once you get the Kpro and race header, picking up a K20A-R intake manifold off a DC5 ITR will fetch you some decent gains also.

wont give you 250HP, but you'll enjoy the extra power regardless.

of course, if you went F/I, getting more than 250HP would be easier.
