Default newby here need opinions

ok guys before you flame me out , hear me out. new to the Honda performance world current ride is a 2002 RSX type S with a k20a2. has a full apexi N1 exhaust with a dc sports shorty header. club rsx fenderwell cold air kit, buddy club short shifter and has been lowered but not sure what springs. bought the car to be a daily while building another car and liked it so much I sold off my project car. I am wanting to rebuild the k20 with 12.5 to 1 pistons , a good stage 2 set of cams ,throttle body and such , k pro the works . question I have is about ITBs . are the worth it for a street car? only looking to get close to 300 if possible maybe hit it with some nitrous if needed . I drive it everyday and love the way it handles, plan to build suspension and brakes as well. my roommate is a 240 guy and says that ITB are a waste on a all motor setupi am not sure , I could drop compression and boost it. give some input guys

SO WAIT.....You bought the car to daily, and now you want to tear it apart and throw tons of money at it that you will never make up in the long run?????

I'm curious as to how that's a waste on N/A applications and not on forced induction. As well as being redundant.

i dunno,seems like you already like the way it handles.might be wasting money to tear it apart and rebuild everything if its truly a daily driver.
