I run the M22x's in my B16b and I LOVE them. If you have the motor to back them and are able to tune it, the M22's would be an awesome cam for you. They idle like stock, and they make power about as high as you want them to. I have a stock air box and exhaust manifold on my motor and they made power clear upto 8,700 , a super strong top end charge. And the valvetrain, IMO, is the best that money can buy....I've never once heard of RM valvetrain dropping a valve or binding, and people have thrown the largest of cams at them to 10k...never once a problem. Big big from me

the only bad thing I know about them is that they are actually made/ground here locally at Crower. As far as power is there any threads with these cams on a actual cam shoot out against any reputable cams?

There is a misunderstanding out there on what a billet is in camshaft terms these two descriptions are from webcams site. The only steel billets (Machined form steel bar stock)I know of is roller cams and the steel OBX P.O.S. Dan

BILLETS:
The blank shafts that the camshafts are made from.

CAST BILLET:
A term used to describe a camshaft which is made from a casting. The material for the casting is a special grade of iron alloy called "Proferal

The only "billet" cams I have heard of were OBX. Go for it. Factory Honda cams are classified as "cast steel" as they have a higher cromieum content than the chilled cast iron. Kent cams made me "billet" cams in the 90's the heat treat cost was big, but at the time no-one made Honda cams.Best I could do was a hard weld from Elgin or Mega-Cycle, same as Comtec. Chilled cast is want you want, unless you are running "roller" rockers. OK Bob. LOL

Yeah as far as I know OBX's are the only actual billet cams on the market now, and from what I hear they eat through rockers like crazy.

**** man, I wanna see those in your motor BAD, and I am kinda biased as well.

...And yes it is true that the RM cams are made form Crower blanks, but I wouldn't consider that a bad thing...Crower has been in the buisness for yeeeears.

would the M22x work good in my JDM ITR with stock 11:1 cr? I have a ram air intake and a Rage header, and right now I am looking for a cam that needs the least bit of tuning but can deliver power on my stock compression. The pump gas in my country is horrible so a compression bump is out of the question.

no chip is going to fully tune a motor just by putting it in.

The chip is either a Hondata basemap if you have Hondata, or a Crome basemap. Each is tailored for your engine.

Shoot Rocket an email on his website. From what I understand, I THINK 11:1 CR is the lowest those cams "like." He's a very helpful guy. I can't say ANYTHING bad about him.

And how would Crower be any different from Comp, Web, megasycle??? Most American cam companys use the same machines. Its all in the grinder. Crower and Rockets cams are all within .001 of each other on the base circles and have No run out what so ever. That to me shows that its a great cam.
