Hello all! So as the title says I'm in the midst of building up an H23A with the 95 mm crank, but will be going to an 89 mm piston courtesy of Wiseco, and using the Darton MID sleeve system. The compression at the end of the day will probably be around 11:5 to 1, running pump gas.

As I crunch numbers and do my own research on cams, I'm wondering what some of your opinions are. This car will be my well taken care of daily, and between that and my driving style, I'm more interested in having an engine that runs well and makes good torque downstairs, rather than an engine that makes more power at high rpm's. Yes I do want to have a good peak power output, but the most important thing is having an engine that runs smooth and pulls hard when I'm typically driving around shifting at 3,000-4,000. I don't drive around bouncing off the rev limiter.

Right now I'm thinking Skunk2 Tuner 2's or Pro 1+'s...but I'm crunching specs on Crower cams, as well as JUN. Any opinions are welcome!

Thank you!

 

Pro 2's?

 

I think Pro2's would be the opposite of what I want...a good cam for wringing the engine's neck, but not so much so for driving around at lower revs.

 

pro 1s. i made 220 whp with a stock bottom h22. power peaked right around 7700. had great midrange.

 

maybe pro 3? if not, youre probably gonna want custom set of camshafts. i have two of my own specs myself.

 

What kind of torque were you putting down with a stock H22? Was it a USDM H22 or JDM? Also, what sort of bolt ons/management?

More and more I'm thinking Pro1's would be the way to go over Brian Crower. Kind of want JUN but...seems like that's a whole other path to tread down...
