If all you have is I/H/E, I'm going to say OEM cam and ignition timing.
There is no "best" cam or ignition timing for all engines. You'll have to put it on a dyno to see.

i had a stock p28 cam advanced 2 degrees with 40 psi of fuel, probably not the smartest but it pulled hard as hell from 45 in a 93 cx hatchback

what about ignition?</TD></TR></TABLE>

Re: (B16EJ1EG6)
If you change the cam timing it will hurt you in some areas of the RPM band and help you in others, MAYBE. Maybe it will help you above 8000 RPM.
Either way if it helps you or hurts you, when you drive the car you're going to think it did you wonders. Just like all these people posting in your thread. Put it on a dyno and you might be inclined to put it back to stock.
Ignition timing: usually it's a safe bet to advance it to the high side of spec, which on a Honda is usually 18 degrees. There's a nice little mark there to help you out. I had a JDM D16 though that did not like anything other than 16 degrees and exactly 16 degrees unless I ran 91, and even then, the power with 91 and 18 degrees was the same as 87 and 16 degrees.
And yes, I had a friend that worked at a dyno shop and could stay after hours.
