Check my pm to you.

I think you are headed in the wrong direction with your mods. Yes, on a good intake, yes on the rmm (although I'm still on the stocker at almost 40,000 miles with no trouble). There are better, more common and cheaper intake choices over the Injen, although it will get the job done.

Your other ideas will not make power. There are better ways to spend your money if you are wanting to beat that Civic, which is 200 pounds lighter than you. Because of his weight advantage you need to add about 30 more horses to beat him, IMHO. If he's underestimating his power, you'll need more.

Im having trouble picturing a civic Si making 225 to the wheels with just the mods listed. Not to mention that 225 comes on around 7500 RPM, which means youd have enough head start to make it close.

If he wants to race, the Civic SI probably lying about his mods. But I understand what you are saying about those listed mods not adding up to quite 225 whp, although that depends on the dyno and operator! Still OP needs more than an intake to be sure he can pull away and stay in front.
