Bolt ons are almost worthless... the only options that are really worth the money are:
-Nitrous
-Turbo
-Engine Swap
I say do the Turbo....nothing beats the sound of a BOV!

and the look on your face when your engine falls to the floor...
"turob doesnt kill engines ppl do..... just like Guns dont kill ppl, ppl do..."
but it sure is easier with a gun ain't it??
well theres 2 sides to everything.... it would be nice to smoke faster cars with a civic (especially a SOHC)
but if your really craving for that nice kill go with a DOHC and the go force induction....at least a DOHC can carry more load and has higher capabilities...
I myself went through a TURBO craze phase... but i weighed out all my options and did my research on COST and to GAIN/CAPABILITY and... i'll just pull some other wild cards out my sleeve...
sorry just my .02 cents...
I have nutin but respect for all those who Force induct their SOHC but I choose and recommend to spend on other things

i switched from N/A to turbo and i know Turbo is what i like the most out of the 2 (personal perferences)
of course i didnt turbo my 7th gen cuz it is not worth it IMO and i went out to buy a car that came with turbo and started from there
i mean my car still have teh warranty cuz the turbo came with teh car when it was new and turbo tunning is so much more fun with the same amount of money put toward into a N/A motor.
but then agian it is a personal thing so my vote go to Turbo car and Supercharged car (C230 coupe...hella fast for the price it is asking)
and depend on your budget, u might as well buy REDVIC's kit cuz if u started from scratch, you will ending up paying too much
good luck with the decision
