It depends on which cam you decide to get.

If you pick a more aggressive cam then you need new springs.
Suggest the crower kit. Although it costs more than the cam, the cost of a rebuild is not worth the risk of a dropped valve.

From what i've experienced the zex cam is one of the best for SOHC.. But i don't know about the crower as i've never used it.

I have seen the Crower springs and Ti retainers for $277 @ optauto.com. Im buying those and sticking them with either the exospeed (along with the head package) or Zex stage 2.

Stock D16Z6 with Iceman intake

besides the cam, almost everything is STOCK. Stock intake, stock exhaust with a test pipe, and a slightly larger throttle body. Thats IT.

Thanks for the dyno charts! Always good to see this type of data. Just one question... ummm... what cam was it? I'm assuming crower... stage 1, stage 2... ?

Im quite happy with my stage 2 crower cam. Cept I did way too much to the head to say it was ALL the cam. I went from 135.5wtq to 150wtq. PnP head, Crower Stage 2 boost cam, .5mm oversized valves, head shaved .005, Ti retainers and their springs. - Non tuned. stock vtec engagment point.
