Welcome to the site.

What are you wanting to get out of your accord?

im trying to tune the motor before i get to heavy into
the body kits an such

altho my coilovers came in today and im lookin to put some
rims on it im thinkin some black five spoke's prolly 18's but maybe 17's
not sure yet

but right now im def lookin for what i can get out of the top end first
before i start messin with pistons and shit like that on the bottom

my intake should be here next week i went with a cold air but i'm thinkin about puttin on a short ram air on it later (depends if i go with a supercharger or not) lol that would be way later down the road tho

but any advice on where to start lookin for cams, rockers, rollers, and such
would be greatly appreciated

this is my first "tuner" car so an help would be greatly appreciated

not to burst your bubble; but your car is as domestic as hondas come. the insturment cluster is made by Ford, the trans was "co-engineered" with GM, it's built here, most of the parts are made here... hell, it's not sold anywhere else in the world but North America. but enough with that, welcome to the site. getting power from that V6 is something not many people have played with. most solutions involve a supercharger... i'd like to see the potential of the heads and manifold on that car. research on some accord sites and see what others have done; but i'll tell you right now (having a 2000 accord myself) the parts market for this car is limited and engine research data is non-exsitent.
