What to do next?

Hey everyone, I've had my Civic for a little over a year now, and I'm having trouble deciding what to do next. I know everything that I am going to do, but just don't know what to move onto next. It's either a new ignition system, fuel system, cam gears and pulleys, throttle body, or a ECU/EMS. If anyone could give me some tips that'd be great. Thanks!

Better spark plugs, ground kit, and distributor.

Re: What to do next?

Are you staying NA or do you plan to go turbo in the future...

new ignition system- Not needed
fuel system- Your injectors aren't close to being maxed out, and also the fuel system isnt restricted at all on a setup like yours.
cam gears and pulleys- Word, this will give you more stuff to play with. You can pick up a sweet crank pulley and alternator pulley from "rahenry00"
throttle body- If your going NA and keeping your stock intake manifold, then go for a slightly bigger one and bore out your intake manifold to the same size. If your going to turbo in a few months, save a couple hundred and buy the right TB for whatever manifold your going to run, or the pipes you want.
or a ECU/EMS- Hondata K-pro, get it anytime you can afford it... but you really should get some more engine mods that will give you power like cams, port and polish, pistons, rods, lighter crank, etc.

I have a stage 2 crower camshaft, brand new, if your looking for a good engine internal to start getting some power outta your motor. I'll give you a deal.

Thanks dude!

I'm keeping it NA, and not planning on dumping too much more money into it so I'm just looking for a little here and there to bring it up some. Thanks!
