Default Making my J30A4 go faster?

So I'm the proud owner of a 03 honda accord V6 EX. So far I've put a cold air intake and done some exhaust work to make it put out a few more horses. I'm now trying to figure out the next best step. Stroker kit? Throttle body spacer? What going to give me a nice large HP boost to my already swift V6?

cam will yield you the most power...but I donno what aftermarket parts they have for J series. TB spacer is a waste of money it's just a noise maker

Cam is going to be hard to change tho right? Whats a good place to get it from? And TB would make it sound better or worse?

TB spacer doesn’t increase power at all. They make a whistle sounds...very annoying. I donno much about v6s I choose no to. I'm a 4banger man ONLY. As for how hard you have to dig into the head. You have to do some searching about that. maybe try and talk to bisimoto. (bisimoto.com) He makes some sick parts for hondas...he knows his stuff

I was brought up on the theory that 4 bangers are for gokarts. Every truck or muscle car we owned was a V8 and every import was a V6. Althought I'm wishing I went with a 4 banger civic motor because of how easy it is to get parts, finding V6 parts is almost impossiable

sadly the honda 4bangers out run the v6. and the v6's make more power...I'm not a fan on SOHC vtec it's performance pointless..my f22a1 with slight mods out runs v6's it's very sad very

See I've noticed different, I've ate up the civics and preludes on the track around here. My accord with only a CAI and a exhaust I made myself is pushing almost 300 HP on the dynos. I've never seen a 4 banger come close to that.

250hp out of a 4cyl will eat up 300 v6's b/c of the gear ratios...you can all the power in the world but your gears decide how the power is applied to the ground. Iv seen b series making around 200-210hp eat up v8's all day long. It all depends on how far you can rev out how light your car is ect. lots of diff variables that come into play. That’s nice your makin 300hp that’s a good number. Now get yourself a cam and a nice tune you can pull out some nice numbers yo! Sounds like you got a good start so far..props to ya bro!

from what im aware the new model accords with the v6 and 6 speed manual run low 14's stock. thats pretty good. id say with good bolt ons one could see the 13's easily. Its all due to that nicely placed transmission. get one of those and 300Hp will go a long way.

Mines currently a auto, but with 182000 km on the tranny im soon going to make the swap and put ALOT of work into the car and make it a M/T. And friend of mine dropped a crate 09 honda V6 and 6 speed into his 04 accord with a bit of effort and a a lot of long nights, I might try the same.
