sir-II or 92+jdm b16a cams are a great upgrade if you have the old cable style which you do
Im a fan of itr cams. Great idle. Easy to tune. Good power. Honda quality.

powerbands that can be used win races. 3hp gain at 8500 rpm's isnt doing any good

If you've never done b-series vtec springs before, I'd recommend taking the head and springs to a reputable shop and have them change them for you. Those little keepers can be a real bastard when the tool slips and they go flying. :P
yes the typical cheapo valve spring compressor isnt ging to do the job on the dohc vtechhhhhhhhhhhhhhh motors
Those damn keepers. I recommend if you do do it lay down a clean white cloth or sheet has I will promise you will have problems the first time you do it and will lose a keeper or two and good luck finiding them in a mess

you can do it on but its a major bitch
pulling the head is your best bet. Might has well get a nice valve job while the head is off and if the funds allow some basic port work

Re: Skunk2 intakes
The funds arent good right this sec...but soon....

Might as well go with over size valves....and other good stuff
Id like a block guard as well...
jus to be on the safe side
Cant i jus get a head already done for the same price as all that??
