based on what you are saying, heres my last piece of advice.

1) Buy a Short Geared B16 CABLE LSD Tranny . You can contact Hmotorsonline.com for one, they will be PERFECT so expect to pay a premium, usually $700-900. COnsidering you can sell your stock trans for $250-300, its not so bad.

2) Buy a header (Hytech replica, i have one for sale)

3) Get a lightweight (10lb) flywheel

4) Get some real suspension

now you wont really gain any BIG power, but what you will do is shorten the gears up, an be able to be in the meat of your powerband more.

YTou really need to post your REALISTIC budget, if you have $1000 to spend, tranny is your best option. If you have $3000 to spend, all the stuff i listed is going to be good.

i wouldnt sink too much money into the LS engine performance wise, NA they suck and dont make much power. I would concentrate on the transmission mods first.

FYI my friend had a 160whp GSR in a CRX that ran 13.01s because he had a YS1 trans with a 4.78 ITR FD. The car FELT faster than my 240whp LSVTEC.

Tranmission mods are often overlooked, and can be and easy "power gain"
