You will probaly notce more gains with aftermarket cam gears because they are adjustable. I would say slap them on tonight and road test it!!!

I would say grip it and rip it man. Maybe I am wrong but a stage 1 cam doesn't really have to be broken in depending on how aggressive it is. I take that back. I would probably run it for a while normally maybe 50 miles or so before vtec. Then I would bring it home and do a valve adjustment, but that is just me.
