I'm planning on upgrading with Hondata and partially or fully building my B18B. I'm wondering what you guys think I should do for the cams, considering i'm non-vtec. Should i stick with the LS cams, or upgrade to something different? my goals are something in the 300-350whp range.

 

get crower 402 cams.

 

hmm...i just read a long thread of the regular users bashing crower cams... any more thougts on these? also, a local tuner, Howard of AR Fab, recommended Crane Stage 3 cams. What have you guys heard about these?

 

crane's good too, saw a dyno in some mag and result came out pretty good.

 

Crane cams have been around for along long time. I know that the cams work great on v8's, but have no experience with their sport compact cams.

crower 402T for LS. I mean... DAMN look at all that lift!!!!!

 

I run Crower 402T's. If you want to see how they perform, "right-click Save As" the link in my sig.

 

haha yes, i've seen the video; very impressive. but do you think it's unecessary/overkill for my more modest goals?

 

For your goals the stock cams are more then enough. Spend that extra money on some head porting so it can breathe better up top where they usually flatten out because of the stock port configuration. Stock cams will make over 400whp easily if you got the right parts.

 

my horsepower peaks in the 6-7k range, due to my 54 trim T3/t04 and also the LS head. So some head porting would help my flow up top? i'm thinkin about adding some springs/retainers, and putting redline up to 7.5k, if it's making the power up there to be worth it.

How much power do you think you picked up with the crowers? They look kinda weaksauce on paper with only 190 duration @ .050, but there's a lot of lift there so I guess it would work good without sacrificing drivability.

 

You can talk to Rocket here on HT he is in the process of designing cams for D and B series motors.
