SHOULD I GO ABOUT INCREASING THE TORQUE OR INCREASING THE HORSEPOWER??.....I HAVE A ACCORD LX 98 THE ONLY MODS ARE A SERIES 40 FLOWMASTER MUFFLER...A CHROME MUFFLER TIP[[NOT THE BIG ONES THAT MAKE THE FARTIN NOISES]] AND I HAVE STRAIGHT PIPE RUNINING TO THE CAT. I-4 ENGINE. MY CAR DOESNT GET ANYWHERE REALLY TILL ABOUT AFTER 45MPH SO I WAS REALLY LEANING MORE TOWARDS TORQUE. BUT ANY SUGGESTIONS ARE FINE....AND AFTER U DECIDE WHICH ONE U THINK I SHUD GO AFTER CAN U GIVE ME SOME WAYS OF DOING THAT AND WHAT EXACTLY TO CHANGE TO INCREASE IT...THX

 

I would upgrade the camshaft to a Bisimoto one, makes decent gains and can be had for about $250.

 

Torque oh wait you have a i4

 

The F23 doesn't make a whole lot of power until you build it.... why not drop some cash into making it handle better... you wouldn't believe how much more of that 150 crank HP you can get to the wheels when you stiffen things up.

 

FO SHO

 

Handling increases the fun-to-drive factor a whole lot more than a few HP's on a dyno that your car might see once or twice ever.

 

ok so imma stickk with upgrading the handling......how do i go about that...cuz i see upgrade camshaft...and stiffen wheels....what exactly do i need to do??

 

Start by reading the stickies in the suspension section. Suspension 2.0 by Velocifero is a great start and by the end, you-ll understand more than most people regarding suspension. If you are pretty technically advanced, look up Ingall's Suspension Primer on Google.

After some research, just ask!

 

coil overs ftw

 

get a cam gear and advance it by 4 or 5 degrees for better take off acceleration, since you already have exhaust system your bottom end torque is shifted to a higher rpm range

mine is a '98 lx 4cyl, had air intake and exhaust, the cam gear really helps shift the torqueto low/mid rpm range
