I guess the question is where do you want to skew the powerband? You could go with something like ITR cams but you'll be paying a small fortune for them from Honda Australia or alternatively get cams from one of the aftermarket manufacturers.

There are a million and one posts on these so your best option is to search through the archives for topics titled <insert manufacturer here> cams. eg - ITR cams, JUN cams, Toda cams, Skunk cams, etc.

I'd go with a cam that has an idle as close to stock as possible as a lumpier idle is just another reason to be given a canary these days.

14.6?

What was your trap speed? 60ft? Weight of car with driver?

That's about right if your 60ft was around 2.3...

Yea like those guys said the next step would be the camshafts...

I'm not sure. I've only had experience with the Honda Sports Car Club when it first started. They had a track day once a year, a few drives around VIC, and motor show tickets from Honda. Apart from that, the only other one is the Honda Club which I don't know about but I suspect it's much the same.

At the other end there is something like MCCR http://www.melbccr.com/.
