Default stock si cams vs tsx and aftermarket cams

alright tech heads. . .ive been thinking about changing the cams in my 07 si but i cant pick which one i wanna get. . .im really leaning towards bc cams at the bottom

i have the 07si cams installed right now in my car


ive really been looking into 06 tsx cams because they are the most aggressive stock kseries cam. . .however they are 600 bucks and i dont think i can bring myself to pay 600bucks for oem cams


next we have the stage 1 skunk 2 cams Lift/Duration: Intake = 13.5/266, Exhaust = 12.5/262. for 650 with no upgraded valvetrain needed and have been proven to make very nice power

next is the stage 2 skunk 2 cams Lift/Duration: Intake = 13.6/272, Exhaust = 12.6/276 where a valvetrain upgrade is needed for around 680 plus valvetrain goodies



heres what im looking at right now. . .buddy club spec 1cams intake 11.8mm/286. Exhaust Lift/Duration: 10.1mm/275. which are the same as the spec3 cams for a bseries these come at a price of 580 but no valvetrain is needed



car will be on greddy emanage i told you which one i was leaning towards now you tell me your thoughts


ive also looked into the ips cams but their kinda out

i personally would go with toda.
but i mean, your obviously going for power, get the most aggressive cams.
but doing so is going to require you to build your motor up a little bit.

i meant internals.
since im sure you're going to set the rev limiter higher, ur gonna need to build the motor to suit higher rpms. like getting some eagle rods and a crank made to rev high rpms.
