cams for b16a1

Im picking up a b16a1 from LA and thinking of replacing cam shafts and cam gears. I was thinking of skunk2 are there any better brands out there. do i need to replace anything else if i do replace cam shaft and cam gears? What other mods can i do to gain hp and torque? Anyone know where i can get good deals on these parts?

if you're looking to save money.....Skunk2 stage I cams can be used safely on the stock valvetrain. They suggest upgrading your valve springs, but it is not necessary. Civic Type R cams are very nice, affordable, can be used with the stock valvetrain, but are not as aggressive as the Sk2s.

Yeh i agree with Sean. GO with skunk2 or ctr. If you want more power go with skunk2 stage 2 cams but then u gonna have to upgrade ur whole valvetrain which cost around 1500-2000 depending where u get it from.

Thats not what the dyno says! The CTR cams have ALOT more umph in the middle and lower rpm range! The skunk stage 2's only beet them by 12 horsies at the top end to... So I dont know about the stage 1's... But I would go with the CTR's. IMO.
