So im rebuilding a B18 LS for my EF9, I wanna throw in some cams, its gonna be my daily driver, im not planning on it being a monster just a little kick to it. I want to know what cams would be good for the LS

 

I ran Crower stage 1 cams on my daily driver b18/ef. Great aggressive cam but not too bad for the street. I have nothing bad to say about them.

 

Thanks! I was looking into some OBX ones but I haven't heard good things about them....u think stage 2 would be too much for daily driving?

 

Gas mileage will suffer greatly with stage 2.

 

Depends on what your goals are. If you make sure to get some All motor stage 2 cams and not forced induction, you should have some fun but you will probably need to make other upgrades to accomodate them. you will probably need to upgrade fuel and more efficient spark wouldent hurt. Your gas mileage will decrease if that matters.

If you are planning on staying all motor daily and do decide to get cams I would look at changing out your tranny to a y1 or a y80 or such... you will have a much more enjoyable time with a cam and shorter gears on the trans..

 

I want to go all motor and yes gas mileage is important, I drive 80 miles round trip to work, so is the y1 or y80 hydraulic or cable? Cause I got the ls cable tranny

 

If you drive that much I would go with the stage 1 cams. Any of the early b16 cable trans will be ok. stay away from the b17 tranny though, I am pretty sure its the same gearing as LS. The LS tranny will be fine and you will still see a visible performance differance with the LS tranny but you will be more satisfied with a shorter geared trans.
I would not recommend the obx cams. I dont know how aggresive or mild the lobes are but obx just doesnt scream quality to me.
If you have the extra cash and your going to pull the tranny its a great time upgrade the clutch. I always like a nice stiff 6 puck unsprung but its not for everyone.

edit- They are both cable transmissions.

 

Ok I would like to thank you for the feed back you've been real helpfull....as of right now I have the following items for my LS:
ITR pistons and rings
King Race bearings
ARP rod bolts
