Are you trying to find another stock cam or after market because a d15 vtec cam is very close to the d16z6 cam so there isent much point on using that one and a d16y8 doesn't work so your best bet would be a comp cam or a skunk 2 if your are going to boost

i appreciate it. a turbo is in the near future. think you just answered it. i have a cold air, crx si tranny, stage 2 exedy clutch kit, 7lb. fidanza flywheel, apexi world sport exhaust, p28 ecu. nice little set up but my understanding is that a cam is the next step. let me know. thank you very much

With a cam upgrade, you'll most likely need a valve train upgrade too or you will mess up your pistons and valves in the future.

how much are u looking to boost? and are you looking to upgrade your bottom end... I hear that the bottomend isn;t too stong on our jdm d15b's.... how come your not using N20? i personally wouldn't go more then a 50 shot.... i would actually be afraid to do that... 20-30 would be my limit
