On an SOHC engine you will see minimal gains adjusting cam timing because you are not able to adjust valve overlap. IMO the money is better spent elsewhere

SOHCs take alot of money to make them a worthy contender. Maybe a stage 1 cam might net you 8-10 hp, but you wont feel it. Why not throw a 50 shot on it for power on demand and fuel economy?

gut the interior?
higher flow exhaust?
BOTTLE! < even a 25 shot will help your prelude tendencies.
use an Intake mani gasket to keep the mani cooler.
change the stock intake mani for a better flowing one.
preludes are heavy, so its no wonder you kept up.

? You just said yourself to stay away from Ebay. And I know his Y8 isn't fast firsthand. I own a Y8 mini - me.
