well actually the pulleys helped out a lot. they didnt waste any energy or anything on battery. It spins the altenator etc faster than the stock pulleys did b/c the unorthodox of course is a lot lighter than stock. And yeah if you get a cam shaft def. get a cam gear. Its not to bad to tune as long as you advance or retard your camgear. I had to advance mine a couple of degrees to run really good etc.
and AEM are awsome pulley set to. Either or will be good buy.

I have a y8, thats sounds like a good idea. I'm going to start college to become a certified honda mechanic in the fall, so I could work on it while I learn on the way....My plan sort of, is to do some mods to this engine that won't bust my wallet too bad. Then after a few years and hopefully done with college when I'm getting more cash. I'll swap my engine for another like a b16 because by then my engine will prolly be on the way out anyways. But i'm not tottaly sure.

^ I'm sure most of us could spare a few pounds anyway.
Cam, remove AC, pulleys, light flywheel (7-9lbs), exedy stage 1 clutch, OBX LSD, light wheels, sticky tires, as much weight as you can shed, upgraded IHE if your's aren't great, and a tune.

Ya, next what I'll prolly do is get some underdrive pulleys and a cam gear together. Together I would imagine they would atleast free up 3-5hp, the pulleys alone they sayproject that much. I would get all three pulleys not just one. You think the hp numbers are worth the price? That would prolly be around $200-$300 dollars for the cam gear and pulleys.

RE: Got I/H/E what next?
So should I get stuff like an after market intake manifold andThrottle body First befor thinking about a cam gear?
Would I need a new belt for the underdrive pulleys?
