What mods would give me more torque?

You just proved yourself wrong with your own post! I see a difference of 6, count them, SIX...lb-ft.

no one has done a 04 conversion highly doubtfull its possible. the 2 best and most TQ gains can be found with either a SC or the 3.5 conversion, and those 2 in combination would be really big.

Just get the headers, pullies, CAI on first, and then if you are not too broke, get into major HP with an SC. Most mods will add torque at some point along the curve, but being the most bang for your buck: search! It really depends on how much you want to spend first... Or you could just go for broke and get a Supercharger. It would cost you much less than a 3.5L conversion and add just as much power in a bolt on form.

I would think an AEM cam sprocket with the timing retarded would give you some nice torque. It really worked for my Civic on both engines. Along with the regular bolt ons of course. Just a suggestion.
