Question $7k in N/A mods? do it?

So now I hear from comptech that it wont be until 3rd week of june or later....my acura dealer says thats crazy and expect it this week so I'll find out for sure tomm..if not I'm tempted to spend it on N/a Mods..........already have gears, e/h/ comptech diff modded engine wise and just got new clutch. I'm done with interior electronics exrerior and rims. Haveing a glass top installed this week replacing plastic. So total with install and warranty from acura with comptech SC with A/C was close to $7k after taxes. Tempted to spend that all on n/a mods...........what would you do with $7k of n/a mods when you already have the mods I do above?

I'll find out tomm though..........

$7000? Why not just get a Lovefab or Inline turbo kit?

$7k in NA mods will get you maybe 40hp. I say buy an EMS for $1300... start tweaking with it until the SC gets here. Then buy your friends beer to get them to install it. With the money you saved from installation costs, that would offset the EMS and you would have an SC with an EMS! 330hp and daily driveable too!!!
