Your TB is absolutely fine, not sure why you would want to change it..the camshafts selection you are thinking of as well is spot on..that is the mod you should be striving after not the tb larger..

You need to put your money on

1) your engine management (bye-bye OBD0, seriously...)
2) The power level you're looking for to pick the right level camshafts
3) Injector size. 350cc is too little to keep duty cycles down and oem fuel pressure.. RDX410 or even 440cc

You've got more to put your money in than to worry about some Throttle Body upgrades. Doesn't do any good if the whole system isn't tuned properly.

Camshaft selection depends on what power goals you are in search for as previously stated. I'd listen to shodan, I think he knows his stuff.

Hmmmmm I'm thinking along the lines of Pro 2's with this build...especially aiming for 230. Also I would scrap the blox and look into a performer x or if you have the budget king motorsports performer x. Those 2 parts will lead you to your goal easier than anything else.

I would refer to this thread for info. Lots of it is useful although it is a 87mm crank instead of 89mm. It should point you in the right direction. https://honda-tech.com/forums/all-motor-naturally-aspirated-44/230whp-82mm-b18c1-set-up-3010563/

Thanks for the advice I was kind of thinking something similar with all the reason I've been doing on the performerX's but won't the s2 p2s be a little much consider my cr will not be the highest or do you think I could sneak by with using these an squeezing a little more power with them?

The difference is the ability for the ECU to be programed more efficiently and with higher resolution than OBD0. Plus, you will have a hard time finding anyone willing to work with that antiquated EFI system. Go OBD1, to get a better result with what you've invested in.

For 230whp NA on a B-series, you'll need it.

If you run the P30 B16 pistons your compression will be just fine to run pro 2's.

They do a WHOLE lot more than just some runner change. Google the Performer X Kingmotorsports process.

I did all my measurments using standard 81mm bore, standard deck height and no milling of the head with OEM HG to get my numbers. LS block w/ LS crank, rods and P30 pistons you are looking at roughly 12.1:1 CR. With a PnP head and Px intake Pro 2's wil respond extremely well.
