Pros = They make killer power. They come with the best valve train (IMO) you can get. Great dealer support.

Cons = There is always a chance that something else might make more power. Doesn't matter what brand you run.

If its stock the biggest cam you would want to use is the H22X. Works best at 0,0 or degree'd in (so you can use stock cam gears for 0,0). IM I don't have much experience with for an H. EuroR should work well. IM choices for the H22 are pretty limited.

They're not as effective in the H22 compared to the B motors. Just get Skunk2 Pro cams. Consistently solid performance in H22's.

Rocket cams did not pickup much at all over stock jdm units:

there is 3 stages for the skunk 2.
now i will be building this h slowly but surely.
would you you recommend going with the 3's.
Im not in a rush to install them as soon as i get them.
i will build up whatever is necessary to have them installed.

i would recommend pro3's only if:

you have 13+ compression
ability to degree the cams
have proper tuning
isn't a daily driver

Since you are asking these questions, i would not recommend them for you unless the engine is done professionally or this will happen:




h22 with Type S pistons, milled head, thinner headgasket, cams not degreed in, no valve to valve measuring.

we made very good power with the skunk2 pro 1's. Stock JDM H22 with pro 1's and valvetrain 210 whp on dynojet (idle's a little weird but not too bad) with tuning it idles near normal.

for value and performance i'd run the blox b's. they make great power and affordable. if its a daily driver i prob would run the blox cams instead of the skunk. and you'll save like 200 bucks.

Those are regrinds, not H22X. Pay attention before discrediting something not even used in the example.

Man enough to admit a mistake and not argue to death over it. Youve earned a point in my book.

Daily driving is definetly a must but i am willing to get a beater from a - b if need be.
Flat out, my goal is 220-240whp and im realizing from searching, the more power the less it is daily drivable...
Now will the blox's cams do that for me...?
or is RocketMotorsports still a good choice...?

You get what you pay for.

Build it right and it will make good power and be reliable. Gearing can make up for power as well.

build any engine where every component works together and you will never be unhappy.

but guess what that takes?

knowing what you are getting into before you get into it.

not necessarily true in all cases. just because something costs more does not make it any better.. Blox cams are proven to make good power. and they are well built. have you actually looked at one. they look like any other cam.. now the OBX is a different story.. those cams look totally different from Skunk, blox, jun, etc..

its like a DC header.. because it costs 400 bucks does that make it any better than the cheap ebay headers? no.. the DC's crack and have exactly the same design. the cheap *** megan header for less than 100 bucks has lasted on one of our cars for 3 years. no cracks and ran 11.7's with it..

Jun cams are the best camshafts for the h22a...a similar cam(spec wise) is the crower stage 3...

if you can't get the juns..get the crowers..you won't be disappointed...
