My brother has a set of buddy club 3 cams left over since he went with skunk 2. Can a stock b16a2 (95k miles) handle the bc 3 if i don't rev pass 8000 rpm? Or i have to upgrade the valve train and retainers. I want a daily driven car tho or should i stick with the stock b16 with itr tranny, toda headers, apexi world sport exhaust, and memoryfab ventura intake. Will it run fine without being tune? Or should I just sell the buddy club 3?

If your not planning to tune then just sell them.

eventually, i will get it tune but i dont have the obd2 to obd1 conversion kit yet

any other opinions?

do it once do it right, if they're stage 3's then they're probably designed to put down power past 8k so you might as well get springs+retainers and a tune and get the full potential out of them

but i heard the buddy club 3 are like skunk 2 stage 1, which is mild cams and can handle a stock b-series. Is that true?

Buddy Club Racing Spec Camshafts Description
Sold in pairs. If you have a B Series motor and you get Spec IV or V camshafts, then we highly recommend upgrading the rest of your valvetrain with Buddy Club components. The same recommendation applies if you have a K Series motor and get Spec II camshafts.

Buddy Club Racing Spec camshafts are second to none. Utilizing advanced Japanese auto manufacturing profile modeling, Buddy Club has developed several different camshafts for both Honda Civic street and race applications. These camshafts are your ticket to making more power out of your Civic!

B Series Motor Camshafts (such as 1999-2000 Civic Si):

Buddy Club Spec III Plus camshafts are made with brand new blank chilled cast cores to ensure strength and flexibility to take advantage of their patent pending Lobe Forming Technology to truly optimize the primary and VTEC cam lobes. The Spec III Plus camshafts were designed to accommodate a wide range of compression ratios from 10.0:1 to 13+. These camshafts are ideal for street use and provide a smooth, constant power throughout the RPM range. These camshafts also do not require any other valvetrain upgrades.

Buddy Club Racing Spec IV camshafts take advantage of the power making ability of higher compression setups. Spec IV cams are the ideal street/track camshafts.

Buddy Club Spec V Extreme camshafts are the most aggressive design in camshaft technology today. Utilizing Buddy Club's patent pending lobe forming technology, low to mid-range torque was further increased and lift was raised to an astonishing 12.8mm for explosive high-end power! These cams do not sacrifice low end power for top end gain, this is unlike anything you have experieneced before!
