Default Questions on bolt on mods help plz

Hello everyone im looking to gain some extra hp and add some quicker throttle response I've don't a lot of research and I want to run a few mods by the forum and maybe get some input opinions and reviews. First off throttle body after market not sure what size any ideas? Reccomendations? Next Megan header I know it's not the best but I can find them used for under 200$ and I've heard they are proven performance? Next is the hondata intake gasket for heat soak issues heard good things about it. And lastly a bc controller or any reccomended one to control air fuel vtec etc thought on brands would be helpful i don't know what mods you have to have to take full advantage of one but I'm hear asking. I did the drop k&n and cooling plate so far any more recomendations changes or opinions would be very helpful as all I mostly hear is s2ks don't like bolt ons.

Won't really be gaining much hp with those mods but would definitely change the sound and lose a few lbs maybe.
I'd spend some time in the NA subforum.
Welcome to the forum!

You probably won't get more than 5hp with those mods listed. If you want 20+hp gains you are going to be spending many thousands on NA bolt ons. If you want some actual gains I would just save for a supercharger.

Just keep in mind if you have a heavy right foot it will get very expensive fast lol. If I had gone nitrous I would have spent thousands on filling it already as I usually do a pull going on to highways almost everytime.

Yeah i'm not going to be using it much. Maybe once a week or so just for a small pull, so a 10lb bottle should last me about 2 months and i'll have 2 bottles. That's under $300 a year on fill ups for me. I use to have nitrous on my old car so I know if you are too happy with it, it will be expensive haha.
