What about adding these parts plus installing and tuning an EMS?

Those parts are about $5000 total, right?

 

as far as power mods:

amuse header and titan exhaust
mugen or j's racing intake w/ portflow TB
hondata mani gasket
mugen cooling mods
spoon headgasket
toda spec a cams
ported head...ALANIZ or hondaraceengines head work
aem ems w/ a good tuner

all this equals sick power...forget about mugen if u want NA power...AMUSE hands down.....

 

i forgot this:

Ricks 4.57 FD w/ comptech diff
exedy hyper clutch

if u wanna get big...get another block sleeve it to 89mm get some high comp pistons and strong rods...then add the toda spec b or c cams with the new ported head....that would be sick!!!! if i had like 4-5k i would b all over this...

 

I run Mugen header, exhaust, ECU, fan switch, thermostat, rad cap, AEM V2 CAI, T1R test pipe, and Hondata gasket. Header, exhaust, ECU bought used. Great mods, noticable gains. I dyno on the 19th...

 

all i can say is you made the perfect decision for the car....most people on here either forget or just don't know that mugen is essentially honda....the mugen engineers develope parts for honda cars to take them in the direction honda knows they can go...mugen fills in the factory gaps...i have mugen on my S and love it...you will absolutely love the way the car is transformed and it will be transformed....alot of people on here say it is not worth the money, that is because most of them want the car to go fast in the quarter mile...they forget the japs don't build quarter mile cars, what they build is circuit cars and if you mugenize any honda it becomes a much better circuit car....meaning you have to do all the mugen mods including the aeros and suspension to complete the art work it will become...but you will have a great start with what you have coming....most importantly, don't take my word, don't take any body's word; just put the stuff on the car and feel the mugen power for yourself!!!

 

i agree w/ everything ssap1 said and those are the exact parts im going with..

stage one to be complete soon:
amuse header and titan exhaust-nothing less
mugen or j's racing intake
hondata mani gasket
mugen cooling mods
spoon headgasket

stage 2:
toda spec a cams
ported head...ALANIZ or hondaraceengines head work
aem ems w/ a good tuner

look at the amuse car, hands down one of the most simpilist yet fastest n/a track cars

 

The amuse titan exhaust is not the way I wanted to go I don't think. I ordered up a Mugen exhaust because I didn't like how my Invidia sounded. (too loud.) This is a daily driver after all. From what I can tell, the Amuse Titan would sound smilar to the Invidia I had. By the way, single exhaust is out of the question anyway, I hate how it sounds.

 

One purpose of this post also was to determine the validity of the dyno graph on the king motorsports website, and how it showed a peak hp of 222 whp. Just sounds pretty high to me, for a peak HP gain of 15 with this setup.
