I can offer you some advice on the cam "break in" period:

Don't worry about it. Install the cams, idle at 2500 rpm or so for about 15 minutes. Drive car and beat on accordingly.

No need to "break in" cams.

Yeah idle em for 15 and romp on them.

 

Crower recommended 30 min so thats what I did, however I want to put at least put another 100 miles on my car! Still in the break in period from the rebuild(sitting at 390miles)! All I need to do is stop my oil pan from leaking. It has a small drip right now(and its a new gasket)

Slightly off topic, but how do you like the 404's so far?

 

i love my 404's. i rather have a b18b with 404's over a stock b16 or b18c1 anyday. the cams have a lot of potental with head work. look at my untuned power curve. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=968454

 

What kind of compression ratio are you running?
