Default What next?

Im sitting here bored wondering what next to buy for my civic, I was thinking with my current mods is it worth gettig the b&m FPR and gauge? and can this be set up easily or will it need to be dyno tuned?

I say that you should do camshaft because you already have all the basic bolt and with camshaft it will give you a great amount of whp. Lets say about 12-15whp.

what about a turbo that would give you the most hp bang for buck

I have considered both those options, I was thinking a turbo in the future but that doesnt come cheaply over here, same for the cam as I would need to get springs and retainers, unless I just went stage 1, but im not sure that would give a big enough gain. Plus the turbo might not work as well as it could with a stage1/2 cam profile.

Im about to install B&m FPR and Gauge.. im gonna say for as cheap as it is,, its a decent gain if your running lean from bolt ons... for the kit its like 60-70 bucks.. and can net upwards of probably 5hp .. and all you need to tune properly yourself is an Air/fuel ratio gauge..

my AFR guage says i am running rich most of the time and rarely stoich...but anyway a FPR will really help performance...i thought it was just more hype, and that it leaned more towards regular "pro" tuning anyway...

I thought that they dont give an acurate reading and i would need an aem wideband? And how do you go about tuning an FPR and AFR together?

I say that you should do camshaft because you already have all the basic bolt and with camshaft it will give you a great amount of whp. Lets say about 12-15whp.
Is that for a stage 1 cam or stage 2 set up, if i can gain that much hp from stage one im definately going to get one.

cant tell you as far as how accurate gauges are..but without spending alot of extra loot it should get you closer than guessing based off of how the engine is running... if you got the money for AEM i would say go for it.. but from my understanding AiR/Fuel can be adjusted by changing fuel pressure
