****tweekin your mixture will give you minimal
(if any) gains untill you give your engine the
ability to bring in more air, that is where it all
starts.  If you are lookin for a honda eatin
street beast (who isnt), you need more air, then
you can put in more fuel and get a really big bang
out of your combustion chamber. this is the base
of a high performance engine, any other
modifications will benefit you more if you are
already getting more oxygen in the engine. this is
achieved by such things as Port & polishing (head,
intake man), larger cams, K&N filter (to start),
throttle body (after port& polish), turbos,
superchargers, etc.  I know this is not what you
want to hear, but you will not get any real big
significant gains untill more air intake is
achieved.
