Crower over junk2.

Crower has been around a long time, [1949] long before Honda was making cars, [1963] and way before Skunk2, [1994], I would go with the guys with a long proven record. 94

id recommend some itr cams. you wont get a mean idle if your plans are just intake and exhaust. because that will limit you the the stage 1 cams, anything higher and you need to replace springs and retainers, but would be required to get a more aggressive idle.

i also dont know if i like the idea of getting rid of vtec. it seems like a power loser for a car with only an intake and exhaust.

Awesome, lets get cams so it sounds cool, but don't bother with all the stuff that goes along with them to actually make more power. :picard: Form/Function

id have to agree with tight-r, cams are not something to buy just to hear them. but its your car so its your choice. also the vtec-killer cams... do not get rid of vtec.. they keep your car engaged in vtec, all the time.

yes you would need a whole new valvetrain and you stay in vtec the whole time, and they make alot of power supposedly.
