Your running close to about 146 stock, but w/ the car's age and all..it's probably a little less. I'd do a complete tuneup, oil, spark plugs, wires, atf trick, gut the cats, and just run some fuel injector through it..that should keep you at around 150. First get a nice cone filter and get some cold air to it, then just go with a downpipe(to replace the presilencers), hi-flo cat, catback...that'll put you around 165 or so. I had intake, exhaust, fuel mods, TB mod, and some other little things...I was pushin around 177 at the flywheel. After you do those basic upgrades, you can do some suspension, body work(can't help ya on the fenders...don't know anything about NY junk yards..but i'm sure someone here does)...drop some weight...and you'll be plenty fast enough to take on most integras and civics, and v6 stangs...preludes will still be a good run though.

I've never done it before, but it sounds like it really helps out. And I've heard lots of good feedback from people that have done it. You can run a search on the forum ,and read some peoples opinions about it.



I belive that Monza is the same as Pacesetter. Racing Beat's header is a much higher quality than the Monza. Vosko had a Pacesetter header on his GTU that he just sold, he said he never had any trouble with it.
