I am craving more power. I tackled the basic I/H/E. Upgraded ignition, and ground wires. Now I want to do some cams. What cams/gears should i get for my b16a3? any suggestions of cheaper and dependable cams/gears? thanks

 

im guessin ur gonna stay na. i would invest in something like crower or maybe toda, skunk2, any major name brand will be fine. the key to making the most of ur cams is upgrade ur valvetrain as well such as springs, retainers and valves. theres no point in buying a cam that was designed to make power in high rpms if u cant rev safely to there limit.
or, you could get some ITB's and cams bring those things to life.

 

go with the skunk 2 but upgrade your valvetrain for sure

 

I would go with full Crower valvetrain. You cant beat them w/ their performance. Dont just get a cam and gear and settle. You want the best possible setup.

 

I've never been impressed with Crower's Honda cams.


Anyways, it depends on how much you want to spend and how much power you want. Skunk2 stage 1 cams are great on b16s if you just want a mild upgrde, and you can keep your stock valvetrain with the stage 1s as long as you keep stock redline.


If you want more power, well then you're looking at higher stages of Skunk, or Toda/Jun, or one of many of the smaller manufacturers. There are many choices.
