Ok, well I have the AEM CAI, Pulleys. Tanabe RM and DC Sports Header. Just got a tune-up done on my car. The suspension is fully tuned and the car is running great. Now, what else should I get in terms of bolt-ons. I want to stay away from Turbo or Supercharger and I think juice is just a pussy way of making a car fast. A few people said that the Apexi V-AFC is the next best thing, but several Honda tuning shops said that it doesn't do anything for NA cars except smooth out the powerband, which doesn't really reflect on the cars performance that much. What about Cam gears on stock cams? worth it - what about MSD - I hear that it just saves gas and burns cleaner, but no actual performance gained from the MSD system. So what do you guys recommend to do. I have very limited cash and if I could buy Crower cams and gears, I would, but I can't afford it, so any suggestions as to what I could get that would make a difference>
Personally I say get the ignition first. Get the one with a timing control and you can advance your timing a little. (I know that is the only way to advance it with OBDII but I am not sure how well it works with the computer) Then I would get the VAFC and the camgears at the same time so you can have it dyno tuned with both. That is the only way to get peak horsepower out of them. That is about the only other little bolt ons you can do.
On a side note, do you like the pulleys? I have heard mixed reviews about them.

Do a little research, a well planned system is not just a kit you throw on the car. They can be very reliable, aren't cheap by any stretch of the imagination, and can give you performance you can't get being NA. Don't confuse it with TFAF, that movie made it into a joke that all of us using nitrous before the movie regret.

Ignition systems won't do much on a N/A car
Cam gears are ok but don't expect a lot w/out cams
I would honestly do the Apexi VAFC next. They gain 10-15 hp peak and u will notice some gains. Well worth it imo
if u are going N/A, get the VAFC and camgears then get cams: either Type-S, Crower, or Skunk 2...after that raise the compression with Type-S pistons because with these u don't have to hone the stock sleeves
