Hi

I planing to replace the camshafts in my B16A1 DOHC Vtec.

What brand and modell is good for both street use and racing?
Which ones should I avoid?

I'm only intrested in US made camshaft (less expensive than japs.)

- Skunk2 stage2 (Vtec Duration 266in./262ex. @ .485/.466)
- Crower stage2 (Vtec Duration 246in./239ex. @ .050")
- Crower stage3 (Vtec Duration 257in./246ex. @ .050")
- Comp Cams 57300 (VTec Duration 260in./260ex. @ .050")
- Crane Cams ???

I'm aware of that all of the cams above require an upgrade of the
valve springs & retainer.

i'd also increase compression alo0ng with other things.

What compression will you be running? I'll answer your question after you answered mine. Figured since you were already aware of what you needed to upgrade when dealing with cams that you would've included the compression you'll be using.

I'm going to use:

B16B pistons in my B16A which gives CR=11:1 (original is 10.2:1)

11:1? just the stage 1's should do. that's not much higher than stock.
