I have a dc 4-2-1 header Cold air intake and thermal cat-back. My high end is great but my low end sucks ass. Any ideas on why or how I can improve it. I am getting a BBK 70mm throtle body and people say that might help low end. Alos gettin Venom Fuel injector. Anyon please tell me how to get a better reponse in my low end

ADJUSTABLE CAM GEARS COULD HELP AND MAKE SURE YOUR TIMING IS CORRECT. IF IT IS OFF A TOOTH IT WILL CAUSE A LOT OF LOW END POWER LAG LOSS

Hey man...You're new so I'm not mad, but you need to fix your signature immediately. TOO long. ONE picture please, and if you INSIST on listing your mods vertically, at least shrink the text and put them right under each other! thanks man. Oh, and the sooner you do this, the quicker you'll save yourself from getting flamed by some of the other members.:)

A supercharger :) You will only get so much low end out our civics. The small displacement doesn't help our torque situation. You may be able to get a little more out of it, but a supercharger will give u the most low end, but wont give you much top end.

yup pushvtec is right, you want low end torque, a supercharger will give you the most lowend torque you can get

turbo or nitrous wont really give you low end grunt. "NOS" shouldn't be actuated till after 3k rpm at WOT and a turbo depending on what you get doesn't usually spool up till about 2700-3000 rpm

First up what civic do you have ex, cx, si. Second only two ways to get torque with honda's one is swap for a b20 or supercharge the engine otherwise your with the wrong car get a mustang. ( I hate mustangs )
