You will need I/H/E and good driving skills!

Ham, honda engines are not that responsive to N/A mods. They just have a lot more aftermarket, so they can choose out of many manufacturers and have more parts made for them. I visit lots of different forums and with I/H/E they don't even gain 20whp... and those are top notch products!

what bore on the TB would you want to have? the kit comes with pretty much everything it seems like you'd need except a fuel pump and a TB...injectors?

tims kit is actually pretty cheap, it's just so much more cost effective.

Also depends on the Honda engine your dealing with... some suck compared to others. But your right, the nice part about Hondas is the humongous aftermarket for every part imaginable. Plus fun things we don't get like stroker kits.

170 hp isn't bad at all for just N/A tuning. That's like a MS Protege right there. One thing is for certain -- our cars SOUND amazing when modded.
