the bolt ons do make some of a difference though, a cold air and full exhaust and u should feel the difference...not by much but the car will be a little quicker off the line
It's all in your head. You cannot feel 10hp increase. You hear the new mod which makes you feel like you are going faster. If you want to feel 10hp take out your spare tire and jack. That's the difference.

Doing a motor swap in most cases you get a more powerful engine. Most guys swap the D series engine for a B series engine - out of a INtegra LS, GS, GSR (170hp), or B16A (160hp) motor out of the Del Sol, 99-00 Civic Si, or JDM motor. Some more extremists do the Prelude motor (H22 or H23 - 200hp).
