Probably not a new tb for an intake manifold. Check with the manufacturer first. Drag racing? Sell the Honda and buy a Camaro/Mustang/Trans Am. You will always be slower than those guys at the track. If you want an import for drag racing, then look at an RX-7, Supra or a 300ZX. But those will be much more expensive to own/maintain/modify then any of the American Iron.
Just for reference, I'd say figure out how low your revs drop when you shift. Set the VTEC at just under that so you are always on the high profile when you are making your passes. Also, find a video camera. I bought a cheap camera and a grip-tron tripod at Radioshack ($120 total) and a little bit of extra info can be a really useful thing. Watching the video helped tell me that I was launching too high and I cut 0.3 seconds off my time just by launching 500 rpm lower.
