DC sports Civic
DAC intake, DC headers, TCS exhaust = only 5HP incrase! (according to Honda Tuning Mag.) $1200 in upgrades to add only 5HP at the wheels? Thats so sad[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 420 Yeah, our engines breathe pretty well. Although I bet that if you were to get a new cam shaft, then those gains would be a little more. Same thing for bigger throttle body. Same thing for turbo. Same thing for nitrous. Same thing for supercharger. Anything where you burn more fuel. Even though $1200 only nets you 5HP at the wheels now, you could see better gains in conjunction with other upgrades. Anyway, I/H/E is not what you do first with our cars I guess?

Rep Power: 0 DC sports is not about making power. They like high-quality, show finish, moderate performance products. If you want more power, look else where. Check out the Import Tuning mag site and look at the project 01 civic. 6hp from intake and exhaust, no header yet.
