Default Would these cams be over kill????

ok i have a stock internal b16 with every bolt on and its time to start getting into the internals. i was wondering if skunk 2 stage 2 cams would be overkill for my stock compression as of right now. in the future i plan on raising it but im buying the cams now so i want somthing that will help alot now, but also still work good later.

also anyone got any good recomendations on valve springs that are good to 9k-10k

I'm running comp/zex 57200 cams on my stock block b16a3, skunk2 valvetrain and the engine has seen 9500 many times.

omni power the new rocket and skunk2 springs are also good. I dont think you need to rev to 10k for power. As for compression there are many ppl runnig those cams on stock compression

i dont think i had enough compression/displacement to make them show any gains. ive got them on my 11.5:1 gsr motor now, and they rock the house.

You MIGHT gain power with them from 7k on, but personally I would opt for a type r camshaft or maybe a S2S1....never underestimate the power of a type r cam....

after what everyone is saying i think im might just go with the s2s1...because from what i understand they will be good now, and they will still be good when i raise the compression to 11.5 or 12...

those S2s1 cams are like ITR/CTR cams.. might as well get OEM honda parts for quality...

check this out.. this would help you out... http://faq.ef-honda.com/index....ng=en its a B-series cam guide from EF-Honda.com
