Default Cams For My Car?

Ok my goal is to be a 13 sec all-motor daily driver. My current setup is
93 Civic Si H/B semi gutted
00 B18C5 I/H/E VAFC and Skunk2 adjustable cam gears
Right now im rollin on 16 Circuit 8's.
So my question is would it be a better route to just go with Skunk2 stage 2 or Toda B's with my setup? Last time i ran at the track i ran a 14.3 at 98mph with a busted 3rd gear(just like every other b series tranny) and it was at Bristol,TN i dont know the altitude. If anyone is running a similar setup let me know your specifics.

i think the stage2's from skunk would be a better option, they are cheaper and toda b's have had mysterious breakage issues.

You should be doing 13s already with a c5.
Was that time on s.tires or slicks?

get skunk2 stage 2 camshafts. they have a near-stock idle so they will be better for a daily driver.

New Tranny that could be a good reason why your not in the 13's already with the setup you got

JUN type3's all the way. highly recommended
The only drawback is that you have to use JUN valvesprings, retainers, etc. but to me its worth it (and you might be upgrading them anyways).
