I will have to agree with the oil change.

And yes, you will feel a difference, I know I always did.

Even if you just did a fresh tune up... and say you just bought "standard" stuff to put in there... and if you go straight to "non-standard" stuff... you will still get some benefits over the fresh "standard" stuff tune-up.

On my Ford Focus with just a regular tune and bolts on I gained 30 HP. My Escape with just a tune gained 40 HP and 60 torque! Both of these numbers were at he wheels.

I wonder how much hp gain I will have if I ever get around to tuning the gsr.

It's very very very not being used to it's full potential right now.

I remember years ago there was a guy who tried to soup up a B16 so that it would get 160 HP to the round and not just at the crank with just bolt ons. He tried everything plus a PCU upgrade and he barely made it. So even with VTEC power is limited because many ol'skool VTEC motors were pretty much up to their limits already with what they had. The only way a person could make more power was to port the heads, make for more aggressive VTEC timing, or replace the cams.
