*ChrisCantSkate* · 01-11-2003, 12:15 PM

*KwikR6* · 01-11-2003, 12:55 PM

Newbie question here.. would that 20hp gain be the cumalative gain from cam and I/H/E or from the cam itself only if I/H/E were installed?

I think just by the wording of his answer it's from the cams alone AFTER you do i/h/e

yes. you cant make your engine take more air in(cams) without reducing the restrictive flow(i/h/e) and expect the same gains

*ChrisCantSkate* · 01-14-2003, 11:39 AM

the more i think about it the lower i think it will be, maybe 15hp

*KwikR6* · 01-14-2003, 03:02 PM

Either way...I wouldn't *****

sohc_vtec 2NR · 01-14-2003, 07:49 PM

port and polish would prolly do u wonders with a new cam...but u might need to tune ur fuel map and such if ur goin' quite "extreme"

How much do cams usually go for?

*ChrisCantSkate* · 01-15-2003, 02:15 PM

vtec engines is usualy about 650 for a pair, or about 350-375 for sohc engines. non vtec its usualy about 550 and 275-300 respectivly

*pdiggitydogg* · 01-16-2003, 04:41 PM

i understand that they just started recently, but I thought they only made vtec cams.

01-16-2003, 08:37 PM

I would go with Zex for SOHC Camshafts. I really like them a lot and have driven a 95 civic ex vtec with a zex camshaft and cam gear with some head work I/H. That thing was awsome. He walked away from me like I was going anywhere. The car runs 15.5 et. The camshaft is 238.99 from www.zex.com. I think that you would be really happy with them. I HIGHLY recommend zex. If you had a DOHC then id go with skunk2.

15.5? well at least the camshaft isn't too expensive.
