Read Igovert500's replys to the other performance question threads, i think he's dead on....for most people's use, better throttle response and handling is more important than having monster HP just under redline, unless you are seriously gonna drag/track it...these motors make their best power in the top, are you going to have it wrung out that often that you'll really use it?
Just something to consider when developing your plan for that car...personally, I'd rather have a nice low, crisp handler that doesn't yaw and understeer when you snap the wheel around...I enjoy tearing up curves much more than going like a rocket in a straight line...but that's just me, also...you may be different.
Anyway, as far as your original question, I defer to those who know more about these in particular. My friend's '99 Civic Si could keep up with my Impala SS with just a CAI, header, catback, and a VTEC controller, and the SS was no slouch...I was impressed...
