Well the reason i got the accord was to see how things settled... My car was repoed Dec 22nd 2010, the day i got out of the hospital.... i missed 2 payments and the bank took it.

I still plan on getting it back here in a few weeks...

heres the list so far done:

2.0 L supercharged (factory )

hp tuned
60 lb injectors
2.8 pulley for the blower
2.5 inch exhaust
2.5 down pipe
stage 3 heat exchanger for the blower
high flow intercooler pump ( air to liquid )
option B ( extra coolant tank
dual pass end plate

Dyno pulled my numbers in my sig.

After I get it back ( hopefully i do )

TVS blower upgrade.
meth 50/50 mix
more tuning

Supercharged Ecotec engine like Chevy Cobalt SS. Same engine family as the Saab B207 (turbo) which I have 2 of them. I've heard stories of a lot more horsepower from that basic engine too.
