Get AEM? Do you have any clue what the fuck you're talking about? Last I checked AEM didn't list Cams for sale on their web site.

As for product differences, they are different. All have pros and cons.

As for the original poster, any of the toda cams can be "streetable". It all depends on your definition. IMO the Toda A cam, Skunk2 cams, etc are fine for a street car. Toda B and C have the same non-vtec lobes but the C has bigger VTEC lobes so I really see no reason to run Toda B's.

Get the valvetrain upgraded and a real ECU.

Dave means a power FC or Hondata for a real ECU. If you use Spec C's you definitely need one of those systems and bigger fuel injectors. YOu will need the engine tuned by someone like Jack at P1 Auto or it won't be streetable. A lot of the drivability is in the tune.

Like Trey said, PowerFC, Hondata, AEM EMS, et cetera. Make that decision based on your preference, tuner availability (software differences, etc - your tuner might only have experience with the AEM, or just the Apexi PowerFC, or just the hondata, etc), price and customer service (hondata is good for that, and general support in the community).

The Question: Yes, you'll need some fuel system upgrades. Here's what I'd suggest if you are serious about toda cams, fine a good tuner in your area that has experience with them, lots of it. If you are on the east coast I'd suggest calling Jack @ P1 Auto (www.p1auto.com). He has lots of experience with Toda products and is an accomplished tuner.
