As it's a US car, I've always preferred "Half-trac".

I think you've got the 5S-FE. Unless you've taken off the head, put on a 3S-GE head, and re-wired your car to work with the new head. wink.gif

if you got 5S-FE, and you found headers...yea that's it, lol

we shouldn't even have headers.

anyways, dont spend money now if you have goals...
if you want to be turbo, just keep saving

if you just want to be a bit faster for the time being, then yea...Cams are somethere shy of 30hp.

get a nitrous wet kit (fuel and nitrous) : 25-75 shot.. it'll give you decent amount of power for the price... you can use the same kit on your new engine if you do 3sgte swap or transfer it to your new car (unlike headers, cams, and all the other BS that gives low hp), or easily re-sell it to any of the honda guys ....

MSD is just a pain in the ass, only get it if your pushing more than 250 hp...
