Default OBX B16a B18c please post your experience to help me

Well I´m in the hard and costy decision of cams.

Many of you know I am from argentina that is a poor country and our national peso is devaluated to 1 dolar 4 pesos argentinos so when is time to build it is really hard for me.

so any opinion or experience you can give me is really important for me.

so far, my setup is a b16a2 p28 crome
ITR intake cam, oem bored to 64mm throttle body matched to IM
tri y replica header 2.25 exhaust with 2 resonators and a n1 ebay cheap header AEM v2 CAI, 12lbs flywheel. 10.8:1 CR and Polished head work.

so far I have 163whp I and expecting to exceed 170whp if possible to get near 175whp but If I get 170whp I will be happy and with a little more torque even though I know b16 are torqueless.

the limitations for me are of course money and springs, I have put springs for 12.2 for the intake and the oem intake inner springs I put them on the exhaust side.

that is why I am not safe installing big stage 2 cams.

Now, to finish my built I was thinking cause of my budget to get:
skunk2 s1 cams, I also was thinking on crower stage 2 cams but when looking from them reading previos threads I saw many mention OBX so I´ve got the doubt about the reliability, is it true that they are manufactured by the people that manufacture skunk2?

are they long term reliable? please if you can post your experiencie it will be very helpfull for me!

I am a newbie and thanks to all of you even though I am 8 thousand miles away I learnt a LOT reading here. to build an HONDA in my country is an almost imposible task, it is equivalent in the USA to build a porsche, to get an Idea on how difficult it is.

the last question is about cam gears, I must use branded ones such as Buddy club or I can use ebay 6 nut cam gears?

please any help will be apreciated and if you have cams for sale

I am trying to be the politest I can but please remember I am not a native english speaker, my english is poor so please understand my language and way to say things may not sound the best but my intend is always the best

I want to say special thanks to "00Red_SiR" that always helped me with every nonsense question I asked him. and also to "pooorman's type-r" that sold me the p28 ecu.
