Hey what do you guys have to say about the BLOX type A cams, the have a higher lift and duration than the CTR cams and are cheaper.

Don't know much about cams, especially VTEC cams. But from what ive read in the All-Motor forum people have had great results from Skunk2's. They seem like they are highly recommended and they are proven to show good results.

Sorry if i wasn't much help though.

the skunk 2 stage 2 cams are awesome, my friend has him in his gsr

and another friend of mine is using comp cams xr series cams in his gsr too

Thats stage 2, so i assume he has internals, upgraded pistons..etc, i plan to keep the block stock momentarily, stage 2 cams are bit too aggressive for a stock block and the compression wont hold up to it either.

 

From what ive read, BC3+ ALL THE WAY. If your running the stock bottom end, i wouldnt run anything above the skunk stage 1, bc3, blox a cam.

 

most definitely, overcamming might be an issue if you run any stage 2 cams with a stock block. But ill be upgrading the piston soon enough so, stage 2 shouldn't be a problem.

 

for the money, I'd find a set of ctr or 98+ itr cams. If you're going to be spending 400+ on some cams, at least go stage 2 where you can see more benefits from that type of a modification on your motor. Keep in mind though, you can run a stage 2 cam on a stock bottom end, but its highly recommended that you upgrade your valvetrane. Personally, blox cams are the best bang for your buck. I havent read any negative reviews on any blox products so far....

Yep...my thoughts exactly....if your finding stage 1 cams...you may as well find some ctr cams or 98+ cams........get yourself a good tuner program/person and you'll see a few ponies...

Im running bc4 cams with valvetrain along with hondata s200 and loving it...

 

Thanks guys, I am going to go get the Blox Type A cams. My car is a DD, so I want to maintain driveability. My bottom end is good to go, on the top I only have skunk2 valves. Do you think it's necessary to get some new springs and retainers? I know you don't need to b/c it's a type A, but what would guys say about that.

I know I need new valve retainers, definitely.

 

with a stock block the compression wont hold up to stage 2 cams correct? so isnt stage 1 more affective at that point?

 

Lots of good info in this thread. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1726429

 

did you get the Blox A's installed? what do you think of them?

 

yea, mate. curious myself...
have a set sitting here hopefully going in at the end of winter...

your retainers will be fine ,oem retainers are just if not more reliable than aftermarket ones which wear out much sooner, since your car is dd remember that the blox(skunk) cams are mainly for drag type specs, although they willl make more peak power, the bc3+s will kill them in mid-low which is what our cars need. if you just drag race then id go for blox, but a good dd cam for stock cr's would be bc3.......i ran them for a while in my old gizzr and it give you the power eactly where you need, its good cus you won't have to wait for vtec rpms or geting in the lower gear to be quick you can just floor it and feel the torque. +1 for bc3.
(also don't forget to pick up some cam gears for tuning, the bc's need them to really see good #'s)

 

aren't the blox A's supposed to have pretty good midrange power?

no, they work well only on top end. they a re exact replica of the skunk stage 1's the BC3 has good midrange but shitty top end. i have the s2s1 in my gsr and i love it when vtec hits

 

dam that sucks, i made my decision to go with blox a's because i thought they made good midrange power. Is there anyone else with experience with these cams? where do you make most of your power? Im looking for midrange over high end power, and if anyone who runs these cams can give some advice, id much appreciate it.

 

those cams doent really give much midrange.. it dumps it all from 6k+. i recommend a skunk2 intake manifold along with it also. make sure u get a chipped p28 ECU and raise your vtec Xover higher to get most of ur cams

 

OK enough theories and bench racing: DOES ANYONE HAVE BLOX TYPE As AND HOW DO THEY FEEL OVER STOCK? Anyone can bloody guess, could someone that actually has them in their car tell us what they are like?

if u payed attention to the board then u should already know.. i already told your dumbass.. the blox A's are the same replica as a skunk stage 1's which i have in my car.. do some reading and STFU

 

Actually you stupid tit you dont have Blox Type A cams so eat a dick. No one asked if you had replica cams, just Blox Type As. Know what I mean?

 

why didn't you research before you got the cams? BC3 pull much more in midrange since they catter towards autocross. skunk2, or blox are more for high end since they catter towards drag racing.

 

i still havent gotten the cams just yet. My b18c1 is being rebuilt right now, and the shop gave me the option of installing cams with no labor charged. I told him i wanted the blox a's only because from the research i did, i think i was looking at some dyno pages of a b16 that were testing the blox a, blox b, bc3+, ctr's and some other stuff here on ht, the guy doing the tests, Rev-Speed, said that the blox a's got good midrange (here' the link: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1107932&page=6. ) What i really want is someone who actually has these cams to give some insight into how they feel. Trust me, i searched, and its all the same sh*t, "they work great" "theyre like the s2s1" "they make slightly more power than ctr cams..." I want to hear from someone who actually has them in their car and has driven with them on the street and, not just speculation and what people read about them on this forum.

you're a dumbass.. do some more research. the blox are the same exact **** as a skunk. both came from the same factory.. what part of that dont u understand? are u just that dumb?
