    Actually NA cams work VERY well for boosted applications. A lot of people making big numbers in hondas (700+) have used the Pro1's and have seen gains as high as 40whp.
    For your application, the skunk2 stage 2's are about the same as the ips K2's just a little less midrange power but for a lot better price. IPS makes a DAMN good product but they have the price tag to go with it along with the wait. You should be doing some searching on k20a.org. Its the best web site for K series. Been out of the K series loop for a while so I have forgotten some things, I am sure there are a bunch of new product out there as well.

    I think the k20a cams are really similar to Skunk 2 stage 1 cams. I used to own k20a cams but never installed them, but if I have the chance to get cams, I would get something better then just stock jdm dc5 cams.

    SKunk2 Stage1s for a mild setup, Stage 2s for medium setups.

    Skunk2 Stage1s > DC5R cams and i have the dynos to prove it

    I think mainstream may have built a k2Xa for someone in an RSX that made good numbers. I would see if you can search for it on here. Mr. Kidd may remember. But K20a.org is very biased to K swapped vehicles, but when it comes to engine stuff I am sure there are some guys on there that know there stuff.

    The car charles did was NOT for the average guy.

    It had Inline PRO K24 that was BUILT and Skunk2 Stage 3 cams.

    FOr the average setup and average budget, SKunk2 Stage1s or Stage2s are fine.

    IPS is a great cam, but very expensive.
