Depends on your budget and desired power. For a daily driver, Crower stage 1's are a good choice. 15-20whp gains. No need to upgrade the rest of the valvetrain

Kind of a newb when it comes to cams, but wouldn't that decrease performance at VTEC?

Why would cams decrease performance at VTec? Just wondering how you conclude that?

Re: (MLBZ521)

Well, VTEC is essentially a separate pair of cam lobes, designed for high RPMs.. I don't know if these are replaced with cams or not though, or if they are separate.

Oh yes, of course they are. That's the whole reason for performance cams!

Re: (Markov)

the vtec lobe is on the cam....its not like its a separate piece or something. The middle lobe is the vtec lobe. On a performance cam, that lobe is bigger.

Re: (98vtec)

So that would mean VTEC would be even better if you get a good cam to replace it?
