UDP all the way, best bang for the buck for sure.

I've heard great things about the UDP and am getting one myself here in the next couple months. However, the Howell race ECU is only $390. If you have no immediate turbo plans, that's probably worth saving the extra $100 for. It seems like everyone who's got one is giddy as a school girl over it. :P

Except they only have the 97s right now, and if more people don't buy those then there may not be any more years...

Well I am definitely not going Turbo. Car is still under warranty and I am by no means a speed freak (prefer the show aspect), but I want a little more kick! Thanks!

If you are into more show then go, then i would say get the throttle body. It'll look perty under the hood and it will help out in the accelleration department n whatnot.

The UDP will definately give you a little extra pick up. If you are more into show, you might want to concider a header, give you a little pick up in the mid range and make the engine bay look better than that &^%* heat shield, or a cat-back, add some nice sound to your looks.

Now if you have $300 to spend get a couple mods. Like ^^^^ said, CAI....get an OBX CAI from e-bay. They are pretty cheap and work great (I have one)...take out the block in your fake brake scoop up front and all the honda boys drool cause you can see your filter (dumbass kids).

After you get that get either the UDP or the 60mm throttle body. Both are going to require you to work. The UDP is hard to get on, and the throttle body requires you to get your intake manifold bored out to match it (you can do it yourself I think)

Well, I am very happy with my AEM short ram, so I don't really need a CAI. Unless I find a good deal on an AEM.
