Even a header, intake and full exhaust won't net you much.

Spray it

That's the thing I don't wanna put headers cause ima boost it in the future.... I wonder how much hp I could get with test pipe, catback, cai, hondata nd maybe some 550cc injectors if the stock headers can hold up... I was hopeing to get 10-20 more hp nd hopefully my vtec cracks sooner like around 4000-4500rpm....

Like I said I don't need anything crazy right now I just wanna be a lil more then stock

Nissan Z will net you 20-30 hp. Seriously, you won;t see that NA unless you are going to spend some major $$. If you want more power, FI is the most cost effective way to go.

You'll be fine with stock inj. You have an ap2 ? Flash pro would prob get you some more power yes. I would only expect 10-15 though at max. IMO not worth it. I had a plm header, pretty sure it did nothing for the car other than being lighter and looking pretty lol

You dont need new injectors. The stock ones are 340cc (I think) they will handle all the power you will,make

What about stage 2 bc cams for an easy 10-13 hp. Then a hondata gasket for about 1-2 hp. And a basic tune with cai. Test pipe.. and single exhaust should pick up about 5-8 hp. Our headers already flow nicely. On top of this if you just want to feel faster... change your gear ratio. You can get about 20hp for about $2k which isnt cheap. But totally worth it. Especially considering people will pay double that for flashy wheels hahaha

Get a emanage ultimate and get it tuned. It will let you lower vtec and gain a good amount of midrange. Beyond that going boost is really the only way to really increase the HP in these things.
