Haha, now that's the spirit! Run this engine to the ground and swap for more power.

Funny all the whistles that people complain about. I get a nice hum from mine, sounds kinda like hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm at a slightly higher pitch than the average Joe would say it, but no whistle. Or maybe it's an oooooooooooooooo. I dunno, but maybe I just got lucky with the whistle?

I dunno how much work you want to do on your car. I'd get pulleys before a flywheel, but that's just me. If you get the AEM Tru-power pulleys they'll run you around $150 online. That's probably my next mod after I do the cat-back. They should improve throttle response a little but I'm not sure just how much of a difference you'll notice.

Getting a good header will also improve your throttle response at the lower revs, but again, not sure how much you'll really notice at the low-end. Usually I've heard people say that headers will help to kill your low-end torque, but some claim they can help as well. I think it depends on which one you get.

The DX isn't too bad, though. My bro had a '95 LX which is pretty much the same engine if I'm not mistaken. He put CAI, DC Sports ceramic header, Koenig axel-back, AEM Tru-power pulleys, lowered it and slapped some 18's on there. Off the line it was much slower than my best friend's '95 EX with DC Sports shortram intake and same ceramic headers, but at highway speeds my bro's was faster.....probably mostly due to being lowered. Hey, they were both much faster than my '88 240 DL Volvo tank.....
