what are you asking?

why do they make aftermarket camshafts better??

better is only a subjective opinion, you usually get worse gas mileage, rougher idle, louder engine

but what are you asking, is this it???

 

[mclean987]

i am asking if they give u better performance ? wat gains ? dont care baout all that other stuff just performance!

 

[kommon_sense]

yes. you can get them from crower, zex, and skunk2. There may be others that make camshafts for the sohc.

If you've got non-VTEC sohc you have more camshaft options and they are cheaper too. But more companies are on the bandwagon with sohc VTEC now, like those above. Also Gude, Crane, JG make them or have them made for them.

On a VTEC properly tuned with I/H/E, a good cam and gear can net you anywhere from 8-20 hp depending on the grind. But the high-hp grinds will generally require a valvespring/retainer kit which will run you about $250, maybe more.

Eveybody hates on Gude, but I have a street/strip cam & gear from them on my sohc vtec 97' ex and it fuckin' rocks!!!

I've got a Crower stage 2 in my 99 Ex and I love it. Yeah you have to buy the valve springs and retainers, but it doesn't hurt to lighten your valvetrain and keep your valves from floating does it? Cams are great if the car is properly tuned. It's not a novice modification.

I GOTS THE SKUNK2'S AND LOVE THEM SOUNDS GREAT WHEN VTEC ENGAGES AND PULLS HARD..
