Thank you but I did infact state that I was looking to put quite a bit of my extra cash into this, my mistake on clarity. Although you say ineed to plan, yet how can I plan if I do not know what I need to carry out spefic goals I wish to accomplish. Isn't that the point of the forum? so more educated individuals in this field such as yourself can teach and help me plan?

Haha Alright guys im gonna be frank, I do not want to show or race my car in any sanction what so ever, I own a 1999 2.3L 4cylinder accord, I mean seriously lets face it, I don't think I could do enough to that car in order to show or race it. All i want is a smoother, faster acceleration compared to what I have now of going from 0 to 40mph in 15 seconds along with a jerky gearshift, not to mention the fact that I have to sit at 4rpm in order to reach that speed in 15 seconds.. So can someone, please, give me a nice simple answer as to what I can add to my engine in order to achieve that. Thank you.

Eh...the only carshow I've been to are my local college meets and HIN. at both, the engines were modded (95% had turbo/supercharged), the other 5% had bolt ons and redone engine internals. i classify showcar as both performance and looks based off the limited car shows I've been to.

HIN is a little different.....very expensive to show so only top end cars show up. but most "show cars" just have a intake and exhaust and usually automatic
