i/h/e wouldn't be too bad of a perfomance gain...something like 200whp after the swaps...but the real performance gains come from the ecu reflash from hondata (it engages the vtec sooner, an increases the upper rpm limit). If you would like even MORE whp, lightweight pulleys would be the next option. But beyond that, your gains will decrease to about 1 hp for each mod. So, if you want to spend about $2k on parts and labor for modest gains to 210 whp, that's your call. But if you want a real gain, go with forced induction and grab a turbo kit. Installation will cost an arm and a leg, but will gain you more whp for the buck.

And then if you get your mind right, you'll realize that you're paying $27k overall for a 250 whp car...and then you can spend the extra 3k, and get a subaru sti wrx
