First and foremost, keep the racing off the public roads. There's no need for that shit; that goes for you and everyone here in the forum. Secondly, you spent most of your money on mods that don't add any sort of performance (except for the pulley and exhaust). Thirdly, if you want to maximize the efficacy of said mods you need a tune. Finally, this was never ever a straight line monster. For the same cash you could get yourself a WRX, which would thoroughly embarrass most cars on the road. A simple tune on a WRX will also yield you more power than a small, hi output NA motor. Everyone tries to compare this with the K20, but it's not that either. As emissions and efficiency shape engine development for engineers, they have to compromise more and more. The K20 was built when some of those regs were more lax. That's why Honda is turning to turbos for the next Si. If you really wanna enjoy this car, go to the track or do some autocross. It'll get the need to race on the street out of your system and make you a better driver.
