Zex Camshaft?
I was looking on the zex website at the camshafts they offer for the SOHC VTEC engine and they claim a 14 hp gain on a stock civic... has anyone used they're camshaft or seen a dyno with this cam?

From what I remember those things are on infinite backorder.
Good luck getting one, but their cams do seem to produce good numbers.
ZEX is produced by Comp Cams, who knows their ****.

I will have dyno numbers on Saturday the 22nd for everybody to see.
D16Z6 with 130k miles. 59300 cam, port/polished head, intake, and exhaust. Head milles .020 and cam advanced 4 degrees. I'll tune it in more precisely and get some numbers up. My bottom end has seen better days but I'm showing 135-145 psi across all 4. The cam will be fine if you stay under factory rev limit of 7200. Anymore will get a better power band, but will need upgraded valvetrain.

Re: Zex Camshaft? (MrJasey)
Im about to purchase their Stage 2 cam along with their springs/retainers. Anyone have experience with their valvetrain goods? I heard they have a Stage 3 cam that requires the valvetrain upgrades but I dont see it on their site...anyone know about this?
Edit: Ooo...just found a good price on a Crower Spring/Ti retainer kit for $277 at optauto.com. I think I'll go with them instead!

Stock D16Z6 with Iceman intake
besides the cam, almost everything is STOCK. Stock intake, stock exhaust with a test pipe, and a slightly larger throttle body. Thats IT.
