Which cams, CTR or Crower Stg 2
Hey guys, I was thinking of putting in some cams. It's either CTR from B16B2 or Crower stg 2 cams. Any thoughts or experience with these cams anyone? thanks

how on earth would someone be able to give you good advice on this when they don't have any idea what other modifications you have done to your car. Nobody would have a clue which cams would compliment your other mods!

it's my D in a B
buddy club spec 3+ are supposed to be good with stock or near-stock compression. (I should know, but I'm too poor to get mine tuned 
h: )
Probably a more pertinent question is what you plan to do to the motor in the future? Cams can be a pricey upgrade once you consider the cost of appropriate valve springs and retainers. If you're not otherwise building the motor (i.e. higher compression, head porting) you're spending a lot of money on just a few ponies.

im gonna bet crower will make a better piston than any stock piston as far as durability goes. Other than that its all about compression Higher=More powa. Look into what stock cr is on CTR pistons then go a little higher with the crower and you are set.

So yea, thanks for the replies. I decided and got the ctr cams, both intake and exhaust. I was wondering if I should replace the valvetrain also? I should be fine with the stock but I heard ctr cams make power pass 8200rpm.

still wondering if i should replace my valvesprings? I read somwehere that stock b16 intake valvesprings are dual, not the exhaust, should I just get a set of duals for the exhaust side? I'm gonna just keep the current rev limit, mayb only raise it up a little later on. thanks guys
