typically if you are upgrading your valve train from stock and going with aftermarket cams, you will want to upgrade the springs and retainers also, and getting tuned after the fact would probably be a good idea

What stage cams are you getting, and why not get BLOX instead of Skunk2, they are the same. But the BLOX are cheaper in price...Either way you should see HP gains, put like the other guy said, you will need valve retainers, valve springs, valve seats, and a good tune! GL...

Just so that you know, skunk2 cams will not fit your motor assuming its a B18A or B18B or B20 for that matter. Only dohc vtec engines. Crower makes non-vtec cams, although dont expect that much, especially if you already have poor compression.

Skunk2 doesn't make non-vtec cams. You can't put vtec cams in a non-vtec head.

He didnt own me......and you can run the OEM cam gears with aftermarket cams....although as previously stated, the vtec cams wont fit your engine, atleast until you get that vtec head on there.

hes completely right, but if you thought the gain from your header + exhaust was significant ....wait till you get those cams in. youll be like i got vtak now?

true, but youll still see valve float, and why not atleast upgradce srpings incase of over rev?
also how good would crower compare to s2?

i have bc spec 3s and wouldnt mind a upgrade after the head is fully built
