Maybe a few horsepower. Save up for the turbo.

CapYoda has a spectacular aura aboutCapYoda has a spectacular aura about
imo.

0 if untuned.

and even if they're tuned, what are you tunning them with? stock engine?

:\

and ignore the pulley. it doesn't do anything IMO. perhaps an extra 1 hp at 6,235 rpm and only that particular rpm. *shrug*

cam gear and fuel/air controller aren't just bolt on power parts.. they need to be tunned...

and you gotta have an engine that needs to be tuned. throwing I/H/E on a car, doesn't really call for a cam gear tunning... maybe a fuel/air controller will help, but I duno if its worth it on a D17A1 or 2

The newer civics don't like mods. I took off my SRI because it was taking away power.

pullys... 0. It will improve throttle response a little

A'PEXi SAFC....0

You may get a little performance boost out of a dyno session & tuning w/ a cam gear & A'PEXI SAFC. Depends on what mods you have & depends on whether you know your specific needs (like where you want your power band etc)

I wouls suggest a cam w/ the cam gear, you could net over 15 bhp w/ proper tuning.
