im looking into buying new cams for my setup and im trying to figure out whats the best ones to get. my setup is a b18a1 block, b18b1 head, crower stage 1 cams,crower springs and retainers, blox intake manifold and throttle body, a set of 12.1 compression pistons(yet to be installed), adjustable cam gears, fuel pressure regulator, 4-1 header, full 2.5 exhaust, testpipe, b16 tranny, lightweight flywheel, and i plan on getting the head port and polished this month. im also running a 75 shot dry nos kit. what i want to know is that what cam would be best for mys etup yeilding about 11.5 : 1 compression. the crower 403 or 404?

 

on my swap i put in crower stage 1's. when using stage ones you dont need new valve springs, and you can keep your stock idle, i also had the testpipe, fuel presure regulator, header, exhaust, high flow fuel pump, and cold air intake, the throtle body and intake manifold is stock and it runs strong.

stage ones are for making it simple but if the head is off just get stage 2 and the valve springs. (both stage 1 and stage 2 cost the same)

its what ever floats your boat.
