[Ryoky]

Hey , i have a 95 civic ex , and i was wondering wat cam shuld i put in it , do i have to put springs retainers?

it have 4.1 header , 2" exhaust , p28 chipped , fuel regulator ,msd ,air intake filter , acura throttle body and a 65 nitrous shot.

thx Ryo

well if you go stage 1 cam(worthless imo) you can keep stock stuff but it wont make good power.

stage 2 and 3 will both need springs and retainers and a full ECU tune.

www.crower.com makes some of the best VTEC cams for the sohc.

stage # is very extreme but it is an awesome cam and with a good tune will idle at 900 and make GREAT power throught the powerband.

that 60ft is utter SHIT!!

sorry man but it is you need practice launching and you should see a 2.3 60ft or better man on street tires is pretty easy.

with that 60ft you will see 14's EASY.

also the stage 3 isnt horendous for street use I will be using one in my daily driver muuuahahahhaha. lol

[Ryoky]

lol yea the car spin wheels till i reach 3rd gear the tires i have like SUX
and i will think bout the cam i hope to get it real soon

[speedjunky01]

I vote tires over cam. they will net more gain in yout times

[Ryoky]

hm yea i think so to, nitto drag??? this wont hurt my tranny??
bdw i have racing stage 3 act clutch

[speedjunky01]

the clutch is fucking BEEEFFFY if you go with slicks you may endup snaping axles. Drag Radials you will be fine with those.

[Ryoky]

ok first the tires then the cam

IDK it depends on milage. there is ALOT of force put on the stock valvetrain.... I would not reuse something thats over 50k old....

plus the ramp rates rutation and lift is MUCH higher on an aftermarket car.... this puts alot more stress on the valvetrain.

IMO stage 2 you may get away with stock stuff for a little while..

stage 3 you MUST upgrade valvetrain
