Alright, I found this site that sells Prelude Type S engine components. I know the Type S had 220hp, so my question is: is it worth spending money to get, for example, the Type S camshaft set, or would the gains from a Stage 1 or Stage 2 Skunk cam be better? Same question about the pistons. Does anyone know the compression ratio of the Type S pistons, and are they worth it, or is it better to get some other piston? Here's the site: http://www.optauto.com/index.htm?parentid=484&deptid=12433

The CR of the type S pistons are 10.5:1, as compared to the stock 10:1. IMO the type S parts aren't worth it. Aftermarket will produce more gains and be stronger. But if you're a hardcore JDM nut then go for it.

Alright, that's what I pretty much figured. Thanks for the info though. As far as cams, what's best for gains but still doesn't affect the idle that much, Stage 1 or Stage 2, because I've heard that Stage 2 starts interferring with everyday drivability and shifting the powerband up too high.
