I'm in a bind people!!! I would love some opinions.

I am about to build my motor but need some early opinions before I really start building. I'm lookin' for what y'all think I should do to get a tad quicker.

First off, most of you know my setup. For those who don't...
98 Civic EX
JDM B18B
3" Intake w/ BPI Velocity Stack
2.25" cheap crush bent straight through exhaust to Magnaflow muffler
Fuel pressure raised to about 45ish psi

I'm pretty maxed out right now. I don't think I can run any faster w/o some other things done. As you may have seen, I've ran some 15.3s recently w/ one 14.9 best right when the motor went in. This leads me to ask.....what do y'all think I should do to improve my times immediately before I start really building my LSV??? As you can see, most of this stuff is not motor related. However, the things for the motor must work with my LS now and the LSV later. This is why they are on the list. Cams, IM, pistons & rods & stuff like that will come with the LSV. I'm just wondering what y'all think I should do now.

I say the suspension If they're blown.

i said header,

well header or exhaust because if you plan to go LSV,
buy them cheapo boltons first?

also suspension would be wise if yours is blown,
but im sure all you want is speed right now =]

Give me your LS so I can boost it, and then buy a B18c.

- A somewhat drag specific "street/mostly strip" setup would help out a bunch. I know this. I regret buying my Tokico HPs from day one. I've been through like six sets of replacements. The issue with this choice is that the strip only setups are a nightmare on the street and anything less is just a basic setup. This is and will be 90% a strip car from this day forward though. Everybody and their mom has already recommended every freakin product and brand available so I'm sitting here kinda like wtf should I do. LoL This is why I'm giving y'all the chance to help "build my ride"

- An si or gsr tranny is not on the list simply cause I will be doing this no mater what and I know most of you would say that anyways. LoL

The list here is just some stuff I could do right now.....things that I've been itching to get done. Help me out please people. Watch my times get faster and faster. LoL

Yep, fix what needs fixing first and that goes for the TPS too.

I know I know. Faster faster. he he he.

My vote is for a new suspension. ya cant go wrong there if your old shit is blown
