$170+ for spark plug wires, but what other company offer spark plug wires that give you a 32.8whp gain?

better for what? are you planning to go all motor or turbo later on? If your planning on going all motor I guess cams more aggressive than ctr might be cool, but i think you can get good results from other cams not as pricey as spoon. If you planning on going turbo later on i would go with the ctrs I've been reading some great stuff on h-t about ctr's in turbo setups. For the price and the ability to have more options with my set up later down the road(go turbo if i wanted to) i would go with ctrs

I agree.....Skunk 2 is a quality company that makes quality parts. They are priced so they are not cheap but not overly expensive like spoon and toda. Skunk 2 is the way to go.

You all have it wrong here.. Dont you know that spoon cams are the strongest out there.. The laws of physics dealing with the strength of metal dont apply at the spoon manufacturing facility.......

If Honda makes it and its will work for your application then use it..

I'm pretty sure Spoon's cams come from the same factory as OEM Honda cams.

the reason why id go with toda over spoon for cams and cam gears is cuz they were the ones that FIRST created the vtec cams and then spoon followed some time later. toda has had 10+ years to mess around with the cams and perfec them. but dude, i like that "If Honda makes it and its will work for your application then use it.." quote haha. honda does make good stuff
