First off, dont look for help here.. you may get discouraged... Secondly, just google it, try honda-tech.com and other various sties for info. There is a LOT of information out there, you just have to READ READ and READ.

Good luck.

if your trying to make it faster by bolt-on's on the stock motor then you are waisting your time. you wont ever notice a difference from I/H/E. your best bet is to do a motor swap or build the stock motor for a little turbo setup. if i had the option of swaping in a B-series motor with a turbo kit or just swaping in a K-motor N/A. I would deff. choose the K motor route. The first thing you should do is make a resonable budget.

If you think dropping down from a 17 sec 1/4 to a 16 sec 1/4 is quicker then god bless your soul.
