Default Stage 1 cams.

I just bought Crower stage 1 cams for my B16A 1st gen engine. After I installed it, do it to adjust the valve clearance according to stock B16A (Intake : 0.15 - 0.19 ; Exhaust : 0.17 - 0.21)? Or there are require different valve clearance? Also usually which one is better when setting the valve clearance, going for bigger number or smaller number? Thanks.

Help,anyone?....
Also do you think I need cam gears for these stage 1 cams? (I won't go bigger than stage 1 in the future).

The valve lash should remain the same regardless of what cams you put in there.

If you want to extract as much power out of the car and you plan on dyno tuning it, a cam gear set would be something good to have.
