low rpm power.

low rpm power.
i notice when i really get on it in my 98 EX i can feel the "power band" from 5500 to 6500 rpms but anywheres before 5000 i feel like im bogged down and just waiting for it to get going. Whats the most efficient way to get more low rpm power?

i was told that intake/header/exhaust helps out between the 4000 to 6000 rpm range.

At any rate, the reason you feel "bogged down" is because it's a civic. If you want "real"low-end power (real is in quotes because we're dealing with hondas... they just don't make that much torque lol), you're going to want to do an engine swap. If all you want is torque, I've heard b20's and H22's are absolute torque monsters.
If you don't want the hassle of swapping engines, I'd say just get a short-ram intake, 4-2-1 header, and a nice cat-back (and maybe a stage I cam). Actually, screw the intake. Just make yourself a set of ITB's
