Default Engine Performance.

So I own a 1999 Honda Accord LX 2.3, 4 cylinder, and I make quite a bit of extra cash and was wondering how to go about making modifications to my engine. What should I add in order to achieve a faster acceleration?

Seriously, you need to make a plan & figure out just how much extra cash you want to sink into this.

The answers are gonna be all over the place because we dont know if your budget isa couplehundred or several thousands.

Do you plan on racing under the rules of any particular sanctioning body? You better study the rules carefully as you plan what to do.

the best feeling of "faster accel." would be increased throttle response

which would most likely be SRI setup w/ exhaust. no headers if you got a 4 banger.
