depends on what cams your going to use. you dont have to. and will be pointless if you dont dyno it to find a good adjustment. dont go cheap. if your cam gear slips and your cam does what it wants to...good bye all of your work

no punctuation = hard to read.

If you're building a B16B, just go with the stock cams and gears. They'll be fine for your application.

nice build. dont know too much about vision tho. i rebuilt my b17 and chose unorthodox cam gears because of their reputation. money well spent should go to quality

ditch the Apex Power FC and just get Crome or Hondata. You'll be thankful later.

You said stock cams? ITR or CTR cams? The CTR intake cam is different so you'll want to use the CTR intake. ITR and CTR exhaust cams are the same. Chances are, if you are using EMS, I wouldn't bother with cam gears.
