For a few bucks yes, much rather run a euro a6 or a non vtec sohc zc cam, if you are looking for a bolt in stocker cam for a few extra ponies.

Any of those cams will put some extra power to it, depending how wild you want a stocker might not be enough.

don't know about duration, but DX and Si camshafts have the same lift - here is specs from factory manual (in the factory manual the CRX DX is called STD)

I would give a call to Bisi @ Bisimoto.com. He can give you all the right info. Once again, he is the KING of SOHC

The A6 cam with Y7/Y8 oem cam gear in a DPFI setup will yeild little since the intake becomes the limiting factory.

92 chp DPFI to 102 chp MPFI just by using a A6 style intake.........even better if you use the Z6 intake!

The a6 cam is a half tooth advanced over the dx. I had a mpfi dx motor with the a6 cam and it ripped!

It might cost a little more but I would buy one from Web or Bisi... More performance than a stock Si. Same amount of time swapping it. HP gains better too.

if your standing in the middle of a forest, are you halfway in or halfway out?????

same goes for the 1/2 tooth (4.75 degrees) cam error.

I figured this out 8 years ago.......it's not rocket science!
