You need to be more specific, because just the answer "no" is wrong. An adjustable cam gear gives the ability to shift the powerband higher or lower and with a motor that is designed for low-mid range power such as D16Z6, this can be very useful if you are building the motor for more high rpm horsepower. If we are speaking about a D16 with absolutely no other mods then yes you are correct, the cam gear is useless. The problem with you ****** B Series guys is you think the fact that you can tune overlap with your cam gears is the greatest. All you have to do with a D Series is choose an aftermarket cam with the proper amount of overlap for your application to begin with, get a cam gear and tune. LEARN TO TUNE.

Spend $4000 on a swap when you could've built a nasty D Series for less than half that. So it's not the best thing to do for someone on a budget.

damn i came in here expecting people to pick on him for spelling it vetec and only one person said something to him... im suprised maybe honda-tech is growing up a lil bit
as for the cam gear, like many other said, not good for stock cam but with aftermarket cam its def a plus if not a requirement if you want to get the most power out of the cam

thats why i built my D16z, if it ends up blowing, they are dime a dozen. i could probably get couple of d16's for the price of 1 b series swap. lol i say fix what you got, unless you have bottomless pockets.
