Rep Power: 0 D16Y8 on a budget need advice
I'm new and i need advice on what to do next. I have a 99 ex cpe 5spd. So far I put on a tanabe cat back, AEM V2 CAI, DC ceramic coated header, and Motegi 17s. Does anybody have an idea of what kind of numbers i am getting at the wheels and advice as to what i should invest in next?

Rep Power: 0 I've got the same engine as you, and I've read that bolt-ons do very little to our engines. Also read that since they do next to nothing, the best thing to invest in is suspension.

Rep Power: 0 invest in some headwork, cams, maybe bottom and get it tuned. Get some nice race springs (nuespeed, eibach should work good for u) and clutch flywheel and u should be good to go. U would be suprised on how some d's with love can do agaisnt basic bolt on swaps. Nitrous is also an option too. Oh yeah advance the timming a lil bit too. My friends ls runs 15.0 flat all day in a teg with just cutout, intake, drop and timming advanced.
