I don't believe A, B or C much less D was an option.
Its already port and polished on an Edelbrock Victor X manifold.
Idk what valvetrain or cams to get.

He gave a very good answer considering the depth of information you gave.

He gave an answer as good as he possibly could, using the information you supplied him with. You need to read between the lines.

My intent was to suggest that there are better cam choices available than the ones that you listed.
So "D. None of the above" means that you should choose another cam. Perhaps Skunk2; I hear that the Pro series cams are not too bad

I stand corrected. Crower cams are the best B-series cams to be had. All of the fastest all motor Honda cars are running them.

I have been running Pro 2's for about 3 years now. 40k + miles, countless dyno pulls, and several trips down the 1320 with no breakage. We have numerous customers running the Pro 1's and Pro 2's, and nary a one has snapped a cam. But if you want to run a Crower cam instead, more power to you.

One of the best engine builders on the board gave you a answer and you reply with rumors. One of the best engine builders in the US of A replys and you come back with a smirky remark. Seriously, go look at the dyno thread at the top forum and stop asking vague questions that you could answer by doing a little homework.

Really though, half these retards in here dont even know how to change spark plugs.

Ok, who credentials are you trying to call into question. B19 a guy who tunes for a living and has built some tremendous engines or DonF a guy who builds and tunes engines for a living? If you had been around for more than 5 mins you would have known who I was referring to.

You seem to be the one who "does not get it". This forum is not for posting BS questions that could be answered with 2 mins of research. If you don't like the fact that you won't get spoon fed answers then go back to the GDD forum.
