what to do NEXT?

ok, now that I have my full exhaust system, i/h/e... I need some opinions on what to do next. I have a 94 SI... I can't afford anything major and I already have a drop on Eibach Sportlines.. I want something that will boost performance without spending $3,000 on a turbo! ANY SUGGESTIONS? how much extra HP will pullies? etc. give me?

I think you should get an upgraded clutch. Maybe cams? Gears? SAFC? Or maybe you should just go pick up an H22.........

no rims yet, I painted my stock 9 spoke rims GUNMETAL, and left the lip silver, and the center cap I left silver too and painted the Honda EMBLEM in the middle red to match my car, (a version of what NEOEKAI posted) I think it looks good for right now, although I have been thinking lately about getting some TANTRUMS, or 7 spoke rims like those... maybe 18s?

18s
if you have ever had 17s they will piss you off and you'll think they are too small
you could splurge on a nitrous kit but not sure if that what you want...

Cams, I'm going with Web Cams very soon, around $350, then add some adj cam gears throttle body, polish your intake manifold, p/p the head etc.

I don't have shocks or a camber kit. I have heard since I used Eibach sportlines that I don't need a camber kit... It is only dropped about 1.8.
Get this $&*#, I put my DC headers in yesterday with a buddy of mine and he told me that the guy who put the springs in for me put the fronts in the rear and the rears up front!!! what an idiot. I knew something was weird when the back was dropped a little lower than the front. now i gotta go up there and get re-dropped! after I do this should I get an alignment? I have heard it is good to get an alignment after a drop...

In theory, you would need camber adjustment for any drop.

Let me clear up all the info on this thread
Pullies are a good bolt on worth 3-5 hp if your lucky,not bad for $100

NO2 also a nice bolt on, if you play it safe and stick with 50 shot a good safe kit with all the extras for saftey will run you about $800, check your local laws and cost to fill the bottle first

Anything greater then a 1.5 inch drop camber adj MAY be needed, just have a shop check your camber after they re-install your springs, also if you got a 94 I'll asume your shocks have some miles on them, THEY WILL blow eventually and upgraded shocks are highly recamended. Better do it now then to pay again for the same job later.

ALL aftermarket cams for h23's are nothing but stock regrinds, and for the sake of reliabilty regrinds are no good. If you can find billet cams go for it, but stay away from regrinds

You want rims? how are the roads in your area? got potholes? cuz if you do stay away from 18s, also if you wanna go faster 18's will do nothing but slow you down, and the rubber costs an arm and a leg

An SAFC and some dyno tuning with some Adj cam gears could also net you some more HP. You just need to decide you end goal. You want big HP? Do a swap, or a turbo. You want reliable HP stick to boltons and a safe NOS install

How so? My friend has had his Gude cams for 4 or 5 years with no problems thus far. (H23 also)

You should consider getting a fuel pressure regulator and ignition, that would be my next step.

nitrous will give you that boost you are looking for... but some JDM headlights would be nice too.
