So for the money you have picked the wrong platform for performance vs. price. I think an itr IM would be better for this setup. maybe Sk pro 1's. And Hondata.

    Ps. My buddy will sell his entire nitrous kit for a good price if you feel its not enough for you.
    Ok let me make sure all my facts are right. A stock B16A j-spec is making 160-170 hp and 130-140whp. your saying that with pretty much all aftermarket parts on this motor, that I will only be making 40-50 whp. I dont understand that at all.

    Well that's just the nature of this beast. Not a big power maker. Not as much displacement as larger engines so big cams slow down intake velocities compared to say a b20 vtec which with more displacement and the same large cams would make much better power; and the vtec engagement point could probably be lowered a couple of hundred rpms b/c it wouldn't have a big dip in power because the air not slowing down as much as the anemic b16.
