seems like everybody focuses on power only. that's the honda way to mod cars. here are my suggestions for you:
1) Clutch-weakest evo part. ATS twin disk. the last clutch you will ever have to buy
i would also get a short shifter, shifter bushing, stainless lines, & a HKS Kansai final drive kit for more speed in each gear. final drive ratio is 4.111:1
2) Brakes-if you haven't already, get rid of those weak stock pads & rotors. get a nice set of Project MU NS pads with SCR Pro rotors, stainless lines, & ATE super blue or Motul 600 brake fluid. pick up a master cylinder brace also. there will be less noise & dust.
3) Suspension-slap on a lower subframe brace, fender braces, stronger front strut tower brace (stock one flexes), rear strut tower brace, front & rear sway bars with rear endlinks, RS trunk bar with Garage HRS braces to connect trunk bar to rear strut tower. if you can afford coilovers, get a nice set of JIC's, Zeal's, K-One's, Aragosta's, or Rocket Dancers along with a set of Nagisa Auto adjustable rear control arms, light wheels & sticky tires (100 treadwear or lower). get your corner balanced & you will be able to pull a minimum of 1.05G's on the skidpad guaranteed.
4) Engine-cams are nice but i would just get the Works 269's. alot of torque & easy on the idle. just to be on the safe side, i would also do cam gears, valve springs, valve guides, lifters, Ti retainers, head gasket, pistons, rods, kevlar timing belt, & head bolts. some might say overkill, but you will have a fully built head to rev to 9K rpm all day long. do not get an O2 housing from ebay. get the largest inside diameter one u can find (Mines Japan). i would also get some motor/tranny mounts, engine damper, radiator, silicone radiator hoses, 1.5 bar radiator cap, Ralliart low temp thermostat, & change all your fluids to Royal Purple.
list may seem excessive, but it will keep your car as complete as a stock evo which VERY FEW people have done with their cars...

just get cams...hks 264's. They have the least overlap/duration and give good low-mid range grunt. There are a few people with 264's in cali who passed the smog test with flying colors, as long as you have the stock cat on.

thanks for the replies, thinking about doing a o2 housing, with the stock exhaust manifold getting a extrude hone treatment for better flow, maybe cams and a nissei intercooler.. but first will get car on a dyno and go from there..
