Have so far...:
Password C/F intake
Megan Racing 4-1 header w/2.5" collector & "race" cat
Apexi World Sport2 Cat back
Nology wires
Ingalls Engine Damper
prothane motor mounts
Koni Yellows
Tein S Tech Springs

What would be a good next step? I'm leaning towards an Exedy organic Clutch and ACT Streetlite flywheel. My current clutch isn't slipping, maybe grabbing a hittle high, but I've heard thata flywheel would help free up some power. I was out messing around with my friend and his 04 spec V Sentra and compared to his car (with I/H/E) I had him through 2nd and 3rd, but after that he easily had me. My car just didn't seem to gain RPMs nearly as fast as the Spec did. I'm guessing a flywheel (and clutch) may help with this.

I'm not really looking towards any thing major as it is my daily driver, and I don't have any reputable places in my area that are known for good tuning. I'd like to just keep it a basic build for now or at least untill I can find somone to do a quality tune, then I'd like to look into hondata, and cams.

What are the opinions on AEM power pulleys? They're fairly inexpesive, but I heard they're not worth anything.

Also on past vehicles I've had great results with lower degree thermostats. What aboutthe Mugen fanswitch and thermostats? Are these more geared toward track cars?

I would say don't get the aem power pulleys, especially the crank pulley. It can throw it out of balance and shorten it's life, and cranks are not cheap. You'd be better off just taking your a/c pulley off, the gains with the pulleys are not noticable at all...IMO

hmm yeah thats what I've heard. I wasn't sure if that was just on persons opinion, or the general concensus.

i'd say go with the skunk2 stage 2 cams with some camgears,valve trans and the whole head deal....try to get a ITR mani or skunk2 mani too...that really helps...my roomates EJ1 with a gsr swap has i/h/e and ITR mani...pulls nicely...start building your internals....

cams and a hondata reflash and you should be happy. If you don't have someone to tune it DO NOT boost.

I have a Exedy organic Clutch and 12# flywhell they helped a lot! How do you like the megan racing header?

If ur looking for some cheap HP just buy a zex kit (very safe) & you'll have no problem smoking the spec top end! :thumbs up

I recently had a JRSC installed and love it!!!!!!!!!!
