hey i was wondering if ya's could please help me with choosing the right cams for my build, heres my set up

b18 block bored to 82mm
b18 crank
manley rods, je forged pistons (12:1 compression)
oem head gasket

b16 head (p&p)
buddy club p-1 racing valve train
skunk2 pro series intake manifold
skunk2 68mm throttle body
bisimoto header
440cc injectors
chipped p28 ecu

now with this setup minus the header (had jdm type r header at the time) and buddy club spec 3+ cams i made 171whp and 110 trq. i wanna run a more aggressive cam, what are my options to make more power? thanks

I would limit your choices between the Pro2 and M22XX, both are excellent high CR 1.8L cams.

thanks, now say if i was to go with pro2's or m22xx would i have to change my valvetrain? i have buddy club p-1 racing valves and valvetrain. but i thought i read before not to mix match your parts to much

I do not know the specifications of the Buddy Club valvetrain, so I cannot directly answer that.

However, I am using Supertech springs/retainers on my Pro3's.

The benefit of matching components, is that any component failure will likely be covered 100% by the manufacturer if all recommended components are used.

look up the specs on the BC VT than compare it to the lift numbers of the cams and see
