i've heard that they are pretty much identical to the Toda's besides for the primary lobe,which gives the Toda's the rough idle.

it gives a good low to mid band the high is pretty damn good i was very surprised at the cam and how it performs throughout the band. the problem is it wont make power past a certain point i forget where like 8500 or 9 im not sure and the high end could be better with a different cam but the low to mid is most likely the best ive seen. its definitely the cam im going to get unless there are more out there that arent as peaky as most cams offered for our cars check out omniman's dyno before and after with his old cams the dynamic autosport spec wutever i forget lol.

I have the BC Spec III+ in my civic with a 96 spec JDM type-r motor. I definitely recommend them.

The low and mid range is a night and day difference. Throttle response and pickup is WAY faster on the bottom end and they pull through VTEC up to redline.

at a minimum you should run an ITR valvetrain...if not ITR than Omni will work very well

If you would compare BC to Jun3/Sk2 stage 2, the BC will make power everywhere except in the top end which would be very minimum.

On top, BC don't require you to have higher compression unlike the Jun3, etc. BC are a perfect choice for the street. ITR valvetrain is required.

As far as others stating is the same as Toda As, I'm in the process of gettin a set of Toda As and will compare. Its a rumor but I like to see it on hand. Toda As seems to be a over hype cam on here but yet, you can't find them anywhere? Sometimes wonder if its the real deal!!!!!!!

Kteller sells BC, PM him.

BC Spec 3+ (intake)11.59, 304 (exhaust) 10.7, 294
Toda A (intake)11.6, 290 (exhaust) 11.5, 280

There appears to be a minor difference. I don't have the outer lobe profiles for the BCs.

Also great for autoX. If you're looking for numbers only, get a different cam.

just to be double sure.....is the ITR valvetrain strong enough to handle these or should you upgrade the ITR valvetrain to something like Omnipower's?

thanks
