Is it worth it putting upgrades on my engine?
Hello everyone, so its been a long time i've been debating if I should install mods on my engine or not. But I have an Honda Civic HX 1999. It has 115hp only. So if i put an intake and exhaust system on it, how much Hp do you think it'll give me. And what are some upgrades i can do to make the car faster in 0-60 and have more HP.

Yeah to give it any real power gains (more than 10-15 hp) you'd have to drop at least a grand

better off with a swap if you're looking to get more HP gains.
