99% of the people that have the flash for the Civic Si (same engine as your car) really like it. The people that don't have it don't like the price tag (hence, why they don't have it ) for the gains that you do get.
Since you have i/h/e already, you probably won't get much of a hp/tq gain in numbers, but from what I've heard it gives a smoother throttle/power band and the extra revs, of course.

You might want to head over to clubrsx.com, if you haven't already, to see what numbers/1/4mile times people get and how they like it, as there might be more posts over there. Just beware the stupid sigs/crap people over there, though.

So far everyone who has the flash as loved it. Higher rev limit, more power and a bit faster. Spend the extra cash and get the hondata.
or if you have 5-6k you can do a complete R swap.

Rumors are that Skunk 2 will have A3 cams in April, also Crane Cams was supposed to have something at SEMA, but I haven't heard anything (I need to just call them and ask...)

Just rumors at the moment. All I have heard about are the k24 with the type S head.
