Need HP

[mattcivic]

I am wondering if anyone knows what bolt-ons add the most HP? I don't mean like add a header, and an exhaust to get more Hp, I mean which header gives the most HP, which exhaust gives the most, etc. Is there a website with Dyno results of each part? I know that everyone Dynos the different intake systems to see what gives the most Hp/torque, but what about all the other parts. With all the companies putting out bolt-ons for the Civic, this info would help alot. I have a 99 Civic EX, as this may need to be known to see what works with my engine.

bang for buck all I can say is that bolt ons dont give you s**t for power.

Hands down, get a new cam shaft. Crane Cams has some really nice ones.

I agree that camshaft, and cam gear along with it, is the next step towards more HP. As for which header, I am not sure. There are claims made by different companies, and as I am not familiar with them, I'll let others who have them on speak about it.

The difference in hp between bolt ons is like the difference in weight between 127 and 135 grains of salt in your hand.

I am going to go with the Camshaft to up my HP. My next question is, seeing as I will have the rocker arm assembly off when I swap camshafts, should I upgrade the valves?? Will it give me any HP increase? The camshaft is an easy upgrade, so I will do it, but I am still intent on swapping the engine out, so if the valve upgrade doesnt do much, than I wont waste my time. I think right now to upgrade the camshaft and the crankshaft/pulley system will be a good upgrade for now. let me know what people think

I drew it up and had it as mine for a while on another board

I didnt even realize that this post was almost a year old. I was finally about to start making some moves on my engine mods and I remembered this post about somebody telling my about the camshaft. I guess I should have started a new one.
