worth while upgrades

I have a 2000 lx with a 1.6. would it be worth my time and money to get a bigger throtle body, j-spec cams, and a header.i do have an exhaust and an intake.

no, for the money you could trade your car in for a new one with more power

the throttle body won't do **** unless you're turbo...so that's a waste. you can also look into upping your compression and advancing your timing.

the headers and cams would be worth getting...what is your source for the cams???...the throttle body is a waste unless you are turbo and even if you are should still be a last resort, since there or more cost effective turbo upgrades.....hope this helps
