cams for lsvtec

[dc2gs]

What up ia, i need some help deciding what cams i should run in my lsvtec. Im hoping to get as close as i can get to 200whp. If i can get more than 200, that would be awesome! I have done some research and i saw some nice builds putting some good power using pro1's. Okay well this is my set up:

b18b1 block with standard bore
pr3 pistons
ls rods
ls crank
b16 head ported and polished
skunk2 IM port matched
70mm blox TB
Kidd racing header

this is my first build so yeah i am still a noob and any help will be really appreciated.

First of all your bearing clearances is the most important figure those out, you upgrade your rod bolts to arp so you can rev safely in the higher rpm's,upgrade your vavletrain if you haven't cause then you'll just blow your motor up with pro'1 on stock valve train , get a vtec water pump/ timing belt, better oil pump, and maybe bump your compression up with p30 pistons. oh yea don't use kid headers get a big tube tri-y if you want more power.
You should be close to 200 or maybe break it with ur setup with pro1's

I am planning on getting arp rod bolts and def getting the vtec water pump and timing belt. Im looking to get a gsr oil pump too. I was thinking about the p30 pistons but i havent been able to find any, which is why i decided to go with the pr3. I havent bought the pistons yet so if i can find p30 pistons, i will def pick them up. I forgot to mention that i will be upgrading to skunk2 valvetrain. I will look in to the tri-y for more power. Thanks a lot for all the info infamous.

So i have been forced to use gsr cams and stock valvetrain due to having no money. Do you guys think i would still be able to hit 200whp with the stock valvetrain and gsr cams?

I highly doubt it. Maybe around 170 or so.

[dc2gs]

Not the answer i wanted but oh well lol im hoping to get 180 and then later on upgrading the valvetrain and cams.

wont get 200

im running same set up with pr3s and arp rod bolts and on shitty b16 99si cams and a virgin p30 ecu and make 168.

Stock injectors?

[turbob20]

stock everything but rod bolts! just a mild port n polish with bowl blend n clean up of my own on the head.

Well im gonna be running gsr cams and maybe milling. 005 off the head to bump up comp a bit. Also hopefully tume it and see what that makes. You making 168 at the wheels?


Stock injectors?
Im not sure about injector size yet...

Just as a heads up I got a B20 block 11.5:1 pistons, B16 head with S2 stage 2 tuner and cams and S2 internals for the head, jdm itr header, itr intake manifold, str bullshit 70mm throttle body, aem cai, custom exhaust with apexi ws2 axelback, and an ls tranny, tuned on hondata and I pull 207whp

Good setup and some good numbers. Im almost done collecting parts to start putting my motor together. Im saving to get some s2 pro2s. Hopefully i can make 200whp.
