Default what's the best cam for my D15B sohc vtec?

I bought the D15B sohc vtec, and I was wondering what is the best cam kit for it? And any ideas on what to do besides i/h/e? I want to stay n/a though? Like what's the best underdrive pulley, cam gears stuff like that. Thanks

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but don't bother trying to squeeze power out of that motor by adding boltons. In the end, I think you'll be disappointed in the $$$/fun ratio.

How about a homemade turbo kit? that's your best bet with that lump 'o **** motor.

just calling it how I see it...

the d15b has the best stock cam of all the SOHC motors. Liek he said above, you can add bolt ons to a SOHC and it "could" be fun but not as much fun as boost.

Okay but, I don't want to go with any type of FI right now unless I can find a supercharger which is highly unlikely. I autoX my car and use it one track events, turboes create to much heat on a 100 degree day and you pushing your car hard as hell for like 6-8 hours a day. That causes too much headache for me.

Some people have cam envy - I only need 1.

The Zex 53900 is a pretty poplular option, here's some dynos with varying parts applied to give you an idea of output on a Z6 (D15B should be similar, although stretched toward the higher rpm range):

Look down to Dyno's and D series camshaft comparison.

Moose from http://www.sohchonda.com is the author of those if you want to ask him any questions....

As far a cam gears go AEM, Golden Eagle, and DC sports all make good cam gears for the D series engine.

I think you're on the right path for your goals - a fun to drive, cheap, responsive car.

Thanks I couldn't care right now if I had two cams or not. I'm pretty happy with what I have right now.
