When I had the ap1, the cheapest (under $500) way to gain some omph at the lower end was to replace the stock intake with a cold air intake. I felt the car to be quicker off the line though it lost some steam at the very top end. Prevents heat bog as well unless you're in stop and go traffic in hot weather. In that case, installation of the Hondata gasket would help in addition to the cold air intake as it stops heat soak of the intake manifold.

Gears FTW!

Edit: they are over 500$ after install but they are still worth it from what I hear

gears or FI...since FI is a lot more than $500, you're left with gears.

about the intake i dont care what anyone says and they can come up with all kinds of crazy number (+20 hp, ha) but there isnt any power difference besides the v2. youre paying for the sticker. note: a high flowing filter like k&n is worth it though.
