Default need tip for cams for B16A1

I need a little more out of the B16A1 currently within my Rex while i build the B20. But im unsure what cams i should go for. I currently have a Skunk2 intake manifoil and Injen exhaust mani. (4-2-1)

Any tips on cams between the range of 300-700 bucks?

edit : did search. Didnt get any wiser.

How did you get the Skunk2 manifold to fit? I had too much problems with idle and coolant, so I had to sell it

Regarding cams, I have no idea how cams designed for the B16A(2) will fit/work in our A1 head. I guess parts from the US are made for the A2 in 99.999999% of the time. Personally, in the furure, I will only buy from European companies just to be sure

As for now I know of two companies that make cams for our engines. http://www.kentcams.com and http://www.catcams.be . Found them through http://www.kollevold.no

all the way You can get the CTR intake cam for $240, and a new cam seal from Honda for $7.
Very nice gain, OE quality, and about 1hour to install

I delivered the original intake and the skunk 2 to Polly Motorsports and he welded over the "flens". I dont recall the english word for it. But i can see you are Norwegian as well.

I have another Skunk 2 lying around if you are interested.

if ur gonna be swapping the intake you might as well swap the exhaust as well.... u can find a good set of IN and EX cams from an itr/ctr on here for like 300 bux...
if u want a little more power without having to upgrade ur valvetrain the skunk 2 stg 1 cams are also good for a lil more power than the ctr cams.....anything larger and it will be necessary to swap out you LMA...

well how much $$ do you have to spend? if your max is like 700-800. get a 2 or 1 layer thin head gasket to bump up compression. See how much you can get a valve job at the machine shops around your way for and ctr or itr cams which are usually 300 bucks. After that save up for tuning.
