cost alot an need some good tuning. also what do you want to do with this car is it daily driver ?? if it is i say mabe skunk stage 1 or if you have a love for toda get teh toda A's but for a track car i would say jun 3 or toda B but both will require some decent compression to make optimom power though an a decent amount of money

I will let you know that the best cams for all honda engines are JUN spec 3 depending on what you are looking for (overall horse power gains) but the cams with the greatest midrange power are the civic type r cam.

true. I've heard that the toda b's are damn straight but you also need to upgrade the valve springs. I have a b16a crx daily driver what cam should i use if i have ctr pistons and all the bolt ons

you should upgrade the valvetrain for any kind of cam you put in (ITR/CTR and greater)...unless you like valve float

you better not mill the head,or remove layers of the head gasket,because your piston to valve clearance will be real cloose with what ever cams you use especialy after market.why dont you just use p30 pistons?
