i hurd b20 cams are every sooo slightly more aggressive than the ls b18b ones. If you not getting crowers, i'd save the time and money and just try to get the whole setup to flow better.. (homemade dryer duct intake.. maybe a nice header and str8tpipe.. )

just my .02

I have some aggressive cams in my B20. IMO, this is not needed until you have a minimum of a good intake, Skunk2 IM, Headers, a high flow cat, and exhaust. I have the intake... If I could do it over I would wait on the cams. They made power, but they are SEVERLY hindered by the 90-91 LS intake and exhaust manifolds I am currently using. The 160k mile cat isn't helping either. If you wish to disregard this advice please contact "Rocket" on this board. Tell him JalopySiR sent you. He is a great guy, and will give you some pointers. Try searching as well...there is a good archived topic about this...

You are using a 1990-1991 intake manifold on a B20? OUCH! Are you aware that the port size is alot larger on the B20 than the 1990-1991 Integra? Alot of people out there are losing TONS of power because they are using this manifold. Do yourself a favor and at least get a stock 1994-1995 B18B manifold. It has ports of the proper size. Or get the Skunk2.

It'll be interesting to see what difference the skunk2 IM makes over the older LS IM....don't forget to post your dyno charts JalopySir
