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?

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.

allmotor can only hope to improve
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.
