So why is 2" bad? Isn't stock like 2 1/4? Well Im running a 2.5" and its fine... And most will tell you backpressure is a myth. I'd go and upgrade the cams, valve springs, retainers and valves firt... You can actually see some nice gains from upgrading cams

a turbo will net higher gains and an increased potential down the road.

cams are a last option for me, because personally the cams need to be selected after you've laid downa few dynos with the turbo present...

after that you can get youself a nice set of mild or medium NA cams and use cam gears to dial out the overlap... depending on how far you think you'll be able to extend the powerband effectivly

But if I may not go turbo, they'd be a good choice I think. I picked cams because Im sure can find some easily from someone I know. I was offereed a nitrous kit and a turbo kit this week, the problem is i know the kid who had the turbo is a fucking idiot, and I dun think i want nitrous. Not not right any how.

Side note: It's 1:30 my b/f went out tonight its his b/day and he finally got in a fight with this kid he's been saying he was going to cuz....they used to be reallly good friends, and as soon as he dumped his x this kid jumped on it and lied to joe and still tried to kick it w/ him at the same time. Any whooooo I was kinda mad cuz i FUCKING HATE the X- who i'm gonna hit in the mouth next time i see, the last time she was knocked up by the guy my b/f hit tonight- cuz shes a slut. any whooooo

He checked em, got hit once in the jaw, then busted the kids nose up, knocked down the kids next punch and hit em again i guess......

Just to share.

CP Pistons, 9.5:1
Eagle Rods
Supertech Dual Valve Springs & Titanium Retainers
Supertech Nitride Coated Valves
ITR or CTR cams
5 Bolt Cam Gears of some sort, for tunning overlap
Blox or Skunk 2 Intake Manifold
OBD1 Conversion (If Applicable) & Hondata

Your motor is good into the 400 whp range. Then save for a turbo setup... (Almost my setup )

do suspension then.

thats always a good upgrade, and the car will feel much faster and much more stable. not to mention it allwos you to do something other than enginework for a while

I've got front and rear strut bars, and skunk2 coilovers. I'm always down for suspenion first- I can't drive a car w/ body roll. Be like sex with a fat girl, it's gross to me.

thats another given. but that can wait until you are going to upgrade the engine components enough to warrant ecu modification
