Stage 1, and a good tune! For example Hondata to get the most power out of the new cams. since they will open up the valves more good to get more air and fuel in. ur stock injectors are good for about 220-250hp, because you can raise the duty cycle on them... =].

anyhting abouve stage 1 requires new valve springs at the most.. u dont want your valves to float and bend and fall in on the piston..

go for it. Stage 1!!

+1 on the Hondata or some other ECU tuning program.

You won't see a huge power gain if you don't have a header, full exhaust, and upgraded intake manifold, but you will see a few extra ponies.

High performance cams are simply airflow modifiers. They change the amount of open space for the air to get sucked into the cylinder/pushed out of the cylinder, as well as the amount of time the valves are open/closed. Without proper supporting mods, you won't see much in gains.

this is what you should do to gains ur engine power better, my suggestion:
01-PCT piston (b16b)
02-valve spring + retainer
03-skunk2 intake manifold
04-oversized throtle body 65-70mm
05-clutch racing
06-header
07-camshaft
08-adjustable cam gear

- Sun Oct 03, 2010 7:40 am #216570 LS crank and rods, CP 12.5:1 pistons, Skunk2 Valve Springs and Titanium retainers, JUN3 cams, AEM Tru-Time cam gears, Tri-y Headers, Blox or ITB's (if you have money). Port and Polish, ACT stage 2 or 3 clutch, 2 1/2" exhaust (manderal bent), Hondata and you will be set. Probably push close to 230whp.

- Tue Oct 12, 2010 3:40 am #218001 For the stage 2 cams you will need at least valve springs and retainers to keep the valves where they belong. you will need cam gears to make use of the new cams and a tune to make use of it all.

- Mon Oct 25, 2010 3:23 pm #219915 The man asked about cams not a built engine guys lol. But like some have said, you will @ least need double valve springs to prevent valve float. If u are interested in headers you can find a megan racing one brand new starting @ $130 :thumb: . The big question is wat do u want ultimately[b] from this motor?
