I'd go with a crower stage 2.

Look in Best Buys (archived)

Crower VTEC DOHCs do not the Non-VTEC or SOHC cams.

I'm about to order myself a Skunk2 here pretty soon.

I ran a ZEX 59300 cam for awhile....it was pretty decent.

I just need to finish up my new tranny

I snagged this from the Dseries board. I have nothing to do with this.
And I hope adamsdynotuning doesn't mind....

Y8 block,A6 pistons,BONE STOCK Y8 head and cam, Y8 intake manifold w/H22 throttle body(matched in plenum entrance, no porting in runners),generic cold air pipe, Dc 4-1 header,adjustable cam gear, and Hondata S200.
This is a very mild engine we put together for the purpose of testing off-the-shelf aftermarket cams in a combination we felt was representative of the average setup. To be fair, we had to give the Y8 cam a fair chance first.

camshaft + final drive + skunk2 intake manifold or Edelbrock mani + Bisimoto Header = nice street setup

I know that edlebrock is trying to dyno their Intake manifold.

We may see dyno numbers from them within 2 months.

I have 1 Edelbrock mani for the Y8 motor right now. dynoing that on a street bolt on setup.

A modified Edelbrock manifold is going into our Street All motor A6 right now. dynoing that in a month or so.
