Not Crower. Their DOHC VTEC cams are quite sesitive.

What is your piston dish at? How much room do we have to play with on lift and duration?
What is your budget?

Though I don't have any personal experience with them, I'd also suggest staying away from Crower. I've heard/read enough horror stories about Crowers self-destructing that I wouldn't consider them an option.

Skunk2s come highly recommended as do Todas ($$$ though ).
