I'm sick of being slow...

All my friends are going to the track this weekend, and i'm pissed. Among our group, I am one of the slowest. What time would I be running with dc headers and greddy sp exhaust? i ran a 16.1 with intake and nothing stripped. Do you think it is worth the 700+ dollars for the two? What else should i get after those 2 that will help substantially (pulleys, cam gears, etc)? Thanks alot.

See, I have a friend with a 95 accord and a h22a swap. I was seriously considering it and asked for his advice. He told me upfront that it isn't worth it. He said that you'll run into so much problems, it isn't worth the money. It's better to buy a new car that is already fast. what's the use in spending all that money to run the same with stock preludes? Doesn't justify it to me.

Juice is the only alternative although I don't like the refilling idea either.

First off 16.1 isn't bad at all for a 2.3 with just intake.

DC headers and greddy exaust for $700 is a good deal. You'll be looking at 10-15 hp and run a projected 15.8

You can use NOS with just intake, but you'll see more gains with headers and exaust.

getting a camshaft, camgear, springs retainers head gasket and port and polish the head is fine but if you're going to pay all that you may as well buy an JDM H22a for 2-3 g's.
