Lots of people seem to like the zex cam. I will more than likely be getting one myself.

Umm well i was thinking about stock cams for now since im rebuilding, i have the y8 in the head now, but ive heard that the z6 is better? which would be the best for a little boost, what about a a6 si cam?

Thanks yea i want to pick that zex cam up when i get some money, and after its built.
Thanks!

I'm not sure what stock cam would be the best to use, but I do know the Z6 head flows better than the Y8 head. The Y8 intake manifold flows better than the Z6 intake manifold though.

the z6 cam is a little more agressive, if you can get one cheap, go ahead and use it.

You can use a OBD2 or OBD1 intake manifold in your OBD0 Car, just swap out the injectors... and thats it!

Idle Air control valve
Intake Air Temp

Sensors are the same, and you can use the newer style throttle body too and just use the map sensor on the tbody.

Well I have had all 3 out and compared them and by the looks of it the d15b has much larger vtec lobes. I heard someone speced it vs the street zex cam and they were similar I think it was on sohchonda.com. Guess thats why it makes 130 hp.
