MrDemon, you only have 4 posts and you talked **** on 3 of them. people ask for help and you just give them ****. really mature . hey, noob, why dont you go and give a honda forum some grief instead. we don't need you here.

here is another reply to bixby who was asking about coil overs:

"Originally posted by MrDemon
u are taking the p1$$ right?

1: what are they? if you dont know u don't need em nuff said.

D "

idiot..... i vote to ban him.

anyways 2004LeMansZ, as far as bang for the buck, if you got the money, then yeah get a FI system. it will be a couple years before i can get that kind of money together and i couldnt wait.

so, i got the pop charger... love it. i am now working on my exhaust side. i heard that on the exhaust, the y-pipe and the cats are the main bottle neck. i am not too eager to mess with the cats, so i am in the process of changing everything back of it. good luck.

the dster is right for autox and track racing but how often do you actually do that in your daily driver? on the dragstrip however, at our level automatic equates to consistancy. launching and shifting like that, on a dragstrip is extremely difficult, and an auto with the same mods will beat a stick 9/10 times, just because automatic. i know ive raced sticks, they make fun of you for buying an auto, then when you beat them, they chalk it up to mishifing or a bad launch. i say thats probably the case but who crossed the line first... the last 2 times... LOL AUTO FOR LIFE!

as for the pop charger. stop reading this post and go buy one, for 100 bucks you cant lose, it sounds awesome, and promises gaines. can i feel the diff? im not going to lie, no, but id like to see anyone put their finger on 5 horses out of 287. you just cant tell but im sure its there (ecu still adj) . i have had people ask me if i am running a turbo with this thing it sounds so cool. i just smile and nod.

A popcharger/CAI is cheap modification. I have nothing against them and I like the sound they make. I have one in my car. Here is my top three mods for "Best Bang For Buck" for a naturally aspirated AT

1. High-Stall Torque converter
2. ECU Upgrade
3. Lighter wheels

Which TC do you have and at what stall speed did you get?

how do you like them xerd headers? quality? Also with your mods you should hit at least a 13.5 with tires that aren't stock.
