Has the car been tuned or did you just install the cam and go? If not tuned, the lack of power from your upgrade has been found.

I was wondering the same thing if it had been tuned after the Cam install. What other mods are done to the motor?

its not gonna feel like a shot of nitrous or anything but you shoulda got a couple more hp out of it assuming that it was tuned with a decent engine management system.

If its not tuned, theres a good chance u are slower than before.

AEM EMS
I had a bad experience one of Hondata's earlier models. Can't say anything about their newer ones.
In the meantime, adjustable cam gears?

I've heard of people driving down from NY to get tuned at P1 in NC. It's only a 6 hour drive and you can get trashed with the we-todd crew in Charlotte.
