u should go for Zex cam shaft cuz it is direct fit and go for Skunk 2 gear or Hayame gear. i have a 94 ex with intake, short shifter, and headers, it push good. i can hang with 93 prelude until 3rd and 4th gear

if i were you, i wouldnt mess with a cam gear on a sohc....the gains are so minute with it that your money would be better spent somewhere else...also, cam gears are best used when you have a dyno to test them on. Id go with the basic i/h/e (which IMO is very expensive for waht you gain)....doubt if that will get you up to 150, but dont really know what else to go with unless your not afriad to pull your motor apart and go with high compression pistons and that kind of stuff

Zex 50 dry shot 500 bux.
255 lph fuel pump 125 bux.

Running sub 14 in the 1320 on a stock SOHC.......priceless.

I think that you can get 15 whp with a ZEX cam on a SOHC motor, which is pretty good. 150 NA, is realistic, just a little expensive IMO.

I agree with ignite. I have a 94 ex and bought a zex camshaft (street performance) and a skunk 2 cam gear that should be installed by the end of the week. I have a i/h/e and with the mods above should be around 135 whp. 150 whp is not out of the question.
