Not that this answers your question directly but what would be best would be to leave it stock. You would be wasting a TON of money for nothing.

Really? How much horsepower do you actually think you'll make? Or is it just something you think you're supposed to do to gain power? These are econo-box engines that are pretty efficient from the factory for gas-mileage, not power. What kind of power do you think you'll get from a set of cams with no other supporting mods and no tune to take advantage of it?

I agree woth grumblemarc, it be cheaper just to swap.in a b series engine imo, a b18b full swap can be had for around 800, if not cheaper, youll have about 20 more horsepower and about 20 more ftlbs tourque stock.

I believe tuning is needed for a cam as well. Well, tuning should be needed at least. Making the investment not worth it that much more.

D16y8, crower stage 2 camshaft, bolt ons, and tuned on Hondata - car sounded good, but was slow as *****. I had this set-up maybe like 2-3 years ago.
