Default B Series Camshaft Buddy Club, Brian Crower, or Others.

I am looking for great camshafts for my N/A LS/Vtec, the car will be primarily used for street and AutoX with Road Race in future. This motor will be in a 95 Integra hatch. I have looked at Buddy Club Spec IV and Brian Crower Stage 2 camshafts, I was needing input on what real experience individuals have had with these or other camshafts. I do not have a real power goal in mind but I would like to be at least 215whp range, I will be running on E85. I'm wanting something with a good mid to upper end performance. If I need to move this thread to the RoadRace/AutoX I'll be happy to do so, any feedback is greatly appreciated. I did search the threads and found plenty of graphs but I was hoping for actual track experience and reviews.
Thanks in advance.

My Motor:
GSR block bored .040 over, ARP Main and Head studs
LS crank and rods with ACL Main and Rod bearings ARP rod bolts
RS Race PCT spec pistons 82mm
Cometic headgasket .060
B16 head with P&P and 3 angle valve job
Springs and retainers will be decided upon once cams are selected
PLM 4-1 header with 2.5" collector and test pipe
RC 440cc injectors and E85 compatible fuel pump
I will also be running ITB's

I had those Brian Crower stage2's in my previous setup, but it was 81.5x87.2 ~12:1 bottom and with single tb. I made nearly 190hp/ 121lbft at wheel (low reading rollerdyno).

Anyway, nice street cams what have nice manners for daily drive. In circuit that engine also pulls quite well 3rd, 4th and 5th gears, so I can't complain.

JKaze,
Great information, thanks for that insight. What intake manifold and tb were you running?

Between BC4 and BCrower 2.

I would go BC4. I noticed with BCrower 2 is that its pretty weak off vtec. Not so great when your coming out of corners/apex.

Yes it is quite mild, little bit better than stock, lol. But in my case, gearing helped a lot. I had switch over point ~4500rpm and I never falled off VTEC.

You can watch track profile here (it's not my car in video):
