Are we really sure that the cams are Blox B's....these were bought used with no box and are almost 2 years old according to what Jon told me. I would like to see the cam to be sure. The car tuned fine and ran fine on a set of stock cams. the issue happened when the new cams were installed by jon. As far as Pinging or detination.....we inspected the plugs, checked timing, check fuel pressure, and checked ignition system......Spark plugs showed no sign of detonation or lean condition.

Lets see the cams and be sure they are what they are supposed to be.

gonna pull out the cams and drop em by for u to check out. i talked to the person who sold it to me again, he assured me they were blox b cams. (of course they are 2 years old, so they might be different specs than what the newer type b's are. i still need to confirm that with someone who knows about the older type bs.)

could you have possibly installed the cams slightly off? I've done it a few times before. the valves could be opening and closing at the wrong times causing it to sputter during vtec engagement. either swap the gsr's back in or double check your install.

Installation of the cams are fine. From the other post, it seems as if a log manifold and these cams dont work well together.So now im trying to figure out if i wanna run an equal length manifold or just put the stock GSR's back in. What do u guys think?

well... IMO it is risky to buy performance internal motor parts without 1) New Unopened, with SPECS. 2) Warranty ! Remember that you do have a chance of getting a off the line defect ! 3) "Domino Effect" If you do CamShafts youll need to upgrade everything else in the head AND adjust them all to work with the SPECS of the CamShafts.

At this point you COULD have damaged some parts or you ARE in the process of damaging them by pushing it on the dyno. Do your baby a favor and take out them Blox CS. Take the loss on the Blox CS and save money not replacing everything if it blows up. Go to youtube and look up some videos...

BTW: I just got my 92 GSR B17 Integra Dyno here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEtF0T1u--o
